The third thread on the same topic.

@Pearlee Yet here you are. Didn't you tell others to not open all the H&M threads if not interested?

How about wishing @Anonymous032819 good luck and hope she doesn't end up ill instead of chastizing. Try it. It doesn't hurt to be kind.

Because she was exposed, and asymptomatic infection is kind of a thing.
It does not sound like she got the asymptomatic test.
@Bri369, there is no "asymptomatic test". A person can, and often does, have a covid infection but no symptoms. They get the same tests as a person exhibiting symptoms.

An antigen test can be given to a person who was exposed but who is not experiencing symptoms.

In either case, self-isolation is recommended to reduce the spread.

That test you did didn't seem as bad as the one my son gets every week. He says they go up behind your eyeballs with a swab on a stick.

I've never been tested for covid.

I hope to heck you don't have it! Good that you don't feel like you have it.

I can imagine how paranoid I would be. I'm achy from the first shot and am trying to keep my mind off the 'what ifs'.

I'm sure we have all been exposed to it or something else or everything out there. We just don't know it. Best wishes. Don't fret.

I really don't get why people have to make the comment "why did you open the thread or yet here you are opening the thread." It should be obvious to one that the person who opened it was interested and maybe had something to say. I mean after all, isn't that what we are here for? Doesn't mean you have to like their comment but I should think we all have the option of reading the different topics and commenting.

Antigen tests are performed by nasal swab, so I'm not sure how you've determined she got the wrong kind?

@rms1954, I agree with you about the right to post. All opinions are fair game. But I doubt that you'd enjoy being told that you shouldn't have started a new thread on a topic. That should come only from a moderator.

Where 2 of my grands work, if anyone is exposed everyone that shift has to go home, get tested and stay home 10 days negative or not. Also, my grandson was ordered to take a test last summer because someone on his shift had covid.. he was shocked when it came back posative. He had no symptoms. However, 2 days after negative report he got the fever, chills, and general flu symptoms. It lasted a couple days. He had to wait so many days then get anothertest. When he was negative , he wentback to work.

True. But no one said she shouldn't have. I think we read things into what people say.

As can the PCR test. Both PCR and antigen tests can be used to determine if a symptomatic or asymptomatic individual is positive. Nether test is an "asymptomatic test".
