some fairly straightforward regulatory reforms would encourage widespread, cheap, at-home testing for future pandemics progress.institute/how-at-home-ra…
If you would like a good answer to this practically important question that nobody knows the answer to, please retweet this poll! @michaelmina_lab @NathanGrubaugh @DrBlytheAdamson @EricTopol @ashishkjha @joshgans @Bob_Wachter @awyllie13
Answer this poll *only* if a member of your household tested positive for Covid, quarantined outside the house for ~5 days, and returned while they were still positive on antigen tests. Did anyone in the house get sick as a result?
In the US, rapid tests like the BinaxNOW still cost $24 for a 2-pack. In Germany, you can buy a rapid test for $2. dm.de/gesundheit/cor…
@peonysniffer In general, symptoms are not a good indicator of infectiousness.
@peonysniffer Figure 2 and 4 in this paper are pretty relevant. But for lots of people (particularly vaccinated), symptom onset precedes meaningful infectiousness. For others, symptoms last for days after infectiousness stops. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Agree w/@BillGates call for faster drugs, but in novel pandemics, this will still take *months* W/exponential growth, we need to contain spread right away Rapid test platforms that can be configured to new pathogens within *weeks* could do this (1/3) nytimes.com/2022/04/15/opi…
Thanks to @jamescham who after my post (joshuagans.substack.com/p/we-need-to-a…) came up with a nice diagram of potentially what is going on following the vaccine.

Confused about rapid tests? The federal government launched a website so that people in the US can order free at-home antigen test kits @Tan_Shelly breaks down how reliable these tests are and what your next move should be if you’re looking to get tested. washingtonpost.com/health/interac…

From the always fantastic @AliceParkNY Nose or throat? The best way to swab for at-home COVID-19 tests ti.me/3I34bVb
Find at-home COVID-19 tests using @FindACovidTest on findacovidtest.org.
As we think through how we are using rapid tests today - we MUST use them strategically! We don’t send troops and guns overseas without a clearly defined strategy and hope to win a battle We send them w a strategy and prioritize the most effective uses nytimes.com/2022/01/11/us/…
People are coming to the ER for rapid tests because they need them early enough to qualify for monoclonal antibody. But we don’t have rapid tests nor antibody in the ER. FYI.
Rapid testing is one of the most effective tools to reduce transmission of COVID. In contrast to many other tests, it is a public health tool that enables people to take the right decision at a difficult time. 1/
medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Happy to share our contribution to the discussion on #antigentests for #Omicron We found no differences in performance for the BinaxNOW in omi vs #delta Remember that analytic sensitivity and clinical sensitivity are 2 different things
IMPORTANT - Please share Many ppl are frustrated that the @US_FDA is telling people not to use a nasal swab as a throat swab Don’t be! You should be thanking them. Seriously, you should. Here’s why: Short Thread 1/
Please don’t go sticking that #COVID19 testing swab down your throat. Use swabs as instructed: via the nose.
