    Disagree. Now if you want to talk about how @jecornel is responding to quoted posts by typing above the quote box, I’m open to that.
    I wasn't gonna say it, but I'm glad some hero stepped up.

    A number of high school coaches died. One coach at a small college. A couple high school football players.

    Since the deaths are just peaking there will probably be more among staffs. Players should be fine due to age and health although myocarditis could cause long term health issues for some.
    Al Blades Jr. has myocarditis. No idea if it was the COVID or something else.

    Thank you for the kind words Fremont.

    Both Freemont's post and Jimmy's response made me laff.

    Multiple clinics have said this to family members for re integration. Also doctors have told other family members the test is so unreliable to not bother with one.
    I don’t know what to tell you. This first hand feedback. There health conditions in the family so precautions are being taken.

    That is incorrect Little Jimmy Cornell.

    What are we arguing about?

    My whole family was tested prior to traveling to see my in-laws. No symptoms. Just told three different doctors (mine, my beard's, and my kids') that we'd be spending time with seniors, and all three prescribed the test without a second thought. This was back in August.

    I was tested again recently after I told my doctor my sinuses were a little plugged. Crossed my fingers, hoping for a positive. Two weeks off paid is two weeks off paid!...

    Can you DM me, your doctor?

    Are you on a five month delay? This was true in the summer. Even then it was more of a "guideline". Now you can schedule a test with any rapid center or clinic, no prerequisites needed.

    Nope, this was about a week before Thanksgiving. And Albertson's has a test but wouldn't administer it to a person under 16. I doubt anyone wants these details. Hit me up offline if you want.

    This is also not 100% correct and depends on the clinic, insurance, etc.

    I know bc we just went through all this bullshit yesterday for my wife. (Tested negative btw)

    Most places won't give you a rapid unless you 1)have a referral for one or 2)are a first responder or something else medical

    To get a referral for one you need to display symptoms, be "essential", or have been in contact with someone who tested positive.

    Anyway, the point being ymmv depending on a number of factors such as region, provider, insurance, etc.

    That's ok, because I do know what to tell you Jimmy: my kid flew home on the 9th, got tested on the 11th and got her results back on the 13th. Negative result.

    I don't know that she told them anything.

    That's efficient. Glad to hear it and that it was a negative result. That's the way it should be.
