Can someone in the medical field weigh in here? How does frozen saline cause a false negative on a test? Id think it would cause a false control....

Just saw this in the news

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ures-could-affect-home-covid-test/6650634001/

So for those of us who live in places where the weather drops below 35F, if the tests are left in your mailbox for too long, they probably are defective. Just think of how much money was spent to buy and send out these tests, only to have them ruined by the weather. My mail doesn't come to my house, it comes to a community box at the end of our street. So sometimes I can go 2-3 days without checking it. Pretty sure the tests I picked up out of my box yesterday are no good now. The article says they shouldn't be left out in the cold for more than a few hours. What about those who check their mail everyday but happen to be at work for hrs after the mail is delivered?

I'm sure most got shipped on cargo planes. They aren't heated planes.

The liquid is not just water/ saline, it's a conjugate (don't know chemical composition) that's necessary for the test to function. And then there's the strip in the little snap thingie, maybe also influenced by temperature.
The snap tests I'm familiar with need to be refrigerated, not frozen, and then near room temperature when actually used. It makes sense that the C-19 snap tests are temperature sensitive too.

If thats the case then since all our tests are shipped from overseas wouldnt they all have been frozen at one point?

I don’t know what to call all of us who have been exposed but never got it.

"Lucky!"

Hubby and I are both doctors. This article is what we are seeing in the population too: https://www.theepochtimes.com/exclu...Y+D9ZYcrg8b/e47cehO3iEjYBk73ar6u2nSHgtq52F6Nx

In addition, my daughter is pregnant. Her baby is developing fine and she's almost full term. Despite the OB/GYN pushing the vaccine, she let something slip. She told my daughter, not vaccinated by choice since she has natural immunity from an infection before vaccines, that all the vaccinated women and delivering early and much small babies than normal. She then said something daughter can't remember the whole statement, but inferred the babies are not acting like babies mentally would act at their delivered age. I had to laugh that they are stupid enough to keep pushing this when it CLEARLY is affecting the babies!

Wow. Very disturbing news news starting to come out. I hope it isn’t as bad as I think feel sorry for the servicemen that didn’t want the vaccine but were mandated.
