Who's got Omicron?

[SVBA_97]

I brought some from home. I’ve self tested a few times since arriving. Always negative. Anyone else get a positive test from these? Don’t know how sensitive/accurate they are … especially with omicron

I got one yesterday. They have been selling them for months in the farmacias. Under "for professional use only" They go for 1.900 pesos a pop.

1900 for one test or for a pack?

I got a positive result from the home antigen test yesterday. I got mine from a farmacia in BA.

feel like it's becoming inevitable that we all get covid at some point and will just have to rely on boosters to keep the symptoms mild for years and years at least

By the way, self-testing is possible in Argentina again: https://www.infobae.com/salud/2022/...so-de-cuatro-test-de-autoevaluacion-covid-19/

"ANMAT decided to allow the sale of these self-assessment devices. The result of the diagnostic orientation test must be individually reported within 24 hours of its completion".

self reporting the results? LOL

I'm not reading people on this board or beyond amongst friends and associates who are having mild cases. I am sure these vaccines make us less like to die or have severe illness/end up in hospital. But so far, I haven't heard of anyone in this current outbreak who has had these seemingly mythical cold-like symptoms that only last a couple of days.

Am I the only one who thinks that test looks uncomfortably similar to an EPT pregnancy test??

La ANMAT autorizó el uso de cuatro tests de autoevaluación de COVID | Tras el consenso alcanzado en las reuniones del Consejo Federal de Salud

I myself have had mild symptoms once and asymptomatic covid once as well. I have a friend who's had mild covid twice (we're both vaccinated). So it might be due to age and health status more than anything else, or just bad luck.
