I have a bunch of home Covid tests here…now I’m not sure if they’re effective at all. My brother has Covid and told me every home test he’s taken has

come back negative, even after days of symptoms and a positive pcr test.

He has to test a few times a week for his job so he used the home tests. (side note: if you’re planning on heading to nyc and seeing Phantom of the Opera, don’t. “It’s spreading like wildfire through the company.”)

Responses:

Is he only doing nose swabs or is he doing throat swabs too? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 19:29 6
- The BinaxNow instructions are to swab both nostrils, nothing about throat -- nm - ty97 Jan 7, 20:34 2

  - (not sure about other tests) -- nm - ty97 Jan 7, 20:34
- Ooh. I don’t know. -- nm - kelly Jan 7, 19:36 1
  - Throat then nose is the recommendation I've heard. (aka "You never go nose to throat!") -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 19:40
- Same question I have as I have seen a lot about it showing up in saliva before the nose now. -- nm* - AJRimmer Jan 7, 19:31
