i was told by the hospital i got mine done at in the summer that at that short a time range, it very well may not. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:20 1

I don't think so -- nm - St. Epiphany Nov 3, 11:19 5
- that's why i thought. there's a community testing this afternoon, but don't want to be wasteful. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 11:20 4
  - 3 to 5 days to get symptoms and some folks a few months ago were sick, sick and didn't test positive for days after they felt bad. - St. Epiphany Nov 3, 11:23 3
    - Yeah, I think if you can stay somewhat quarantined for 3-4 days, do that, then take a home test. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 11:25 2
      - Yup -- nm - St. Epiphany Nov 3, 11:28
      - yep, i can stay quarantined no issue, see if get the symptoms. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 11:25
Not if you keep masking. You need to get out there and snort that shit up to make sure it is detectable! -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:14
