China Corona Virus Outbreak

rapid antigen test swab yan

pero of course nowhere near as sensitive as PCR

likelihood of false negatives

thanks bro.

eto yung info na binigay ng company namin:

The Rapid Antigen Test detects certain proteins or glycans, such as spike proteins found
on the surface of the SArS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. A fluid sample is obtained using a
nasal swab. Antigen tests can produce results in approximately 15 minutes. This test
reveals if a person is currently infected with pathogens such as COVID-19, even on Day 1
of the infection

give you a clue Doc

try India

They're ahead of us in using that rapid antigen test

they already found out..........

i found the product description / infomercial. i also found the sort-of press release.
sabi nga, na medyo mataas ang false negatives.
but i can't seem to find the false positive and false negative figures.
perhaps you already know them... sirit naman.

"standard Q covid antigen rapid test."

according to the speaker,

test is time-sensitive; best if done as per recommendations:
if symptomatic, test is done within 5 days.
if asymptomatic, test is done 5-8 days after exposure.

if positive, then it is good-as-gold positive.
if negative, must confirm using PCR.

alas, i did not hear the sensitivity-specificity figures.
but product etiketa says something like 94-95%, daw.

if asymptomatic, test is done 5-8 days after exposure.

When will start counting the days when you're asymptomatic?

When will start counting the days when you're asymptomatic?

"best guess as to when you were initially exposed".
it sucks, but... that's life.
this is where we may have to rely on contact tracing.

yup when there's too little virus at the time of the swab the test won't detect it

habang may symptoms the test works better

higher chance of false negative pag wala symptoms

India's ICMR says the test isn't as sensitive as claimed sa etiketa

hirap niyan how can someone know when he got infected

[Lew_Alcindor]

Is this even legal?

People should also be reminded that the swab should be done by a professional so to increase the likely hood of getting the virus from the swab.

i know some people who was able to get the blood Rapid test and do it themselves tapos hindi alam interpretation nung results.

Yes, got it from the video...

Useless ang barrier if yung aerosol is around the place...

i don't see how dividers (or barriers or whatever they're called) can block the virus

when infected people exhale/sneeze/cough, the virus goes to the air and you're all breathing the same stale air in an indoor space like a gym

kahit ilan pa divider meron

I think they are there just to make it look like the establishment followed the health protocol mandated by IATF.
They might not be able to operate if they won't comply.

Makakatulong talaga yung suggestion na dapat may exhaust fan para humigop sa mga stale air ng closed room establishment outside.
Eto din sana ang ipapatupad ng IATF for these business establishments.

Yung mga customer naman, if hindi ganito ang setup ng establishment, mas mabuting iwas nalang muna.

yup rapid antigen test looks for the virus unlike rapid antibody test

you need to get swabbed (like for PCR) unlike rapid antibody test -- blood

pero malayo ang sensitivity ng rapid antigen test sa PCR

mataas daw false negative ng rapid antigen test
