DH sent me a link to this Tweet today and I wanted to share, as I know many of our chook friends are experiencing difficulties with hawks.

Testing until you are positive is not best practice. False positives happen as well. If symptoms change then consider retesting.

Really? I was told to test once a day for 3 days if symptomatic but negative test. I believe false positive are way rarer than false negatives.

I dont do that I just double check

Yes, that is what I was told too (I was told triple but similar). Good news you were negative, now focus on getting well real fast!

Thirsty Thursday

Glynda decided she likes tea. No worries everyone, it was decaf. I can't imagine her on caffeine!

That was pretty special. I think I need to reboot to get my emojis back - HEART

The issue is specimen collection. Most people are not great at collecting their own specimen. So they tell people to retest. Best practice is to take a good specimen the first time and accept the result.

There are only a couple of reliable tests on the marketplace and to my knowledge only one has actually proven the sensitivity and specificity to be "approved". The rest are still being sold and used under the EUA. It is a dirty little secret that many of them do have equally high false positive as negatives. The package insert for your test should list the sensitivity and specificity. If it does not, then you should question its reliability.

I am feeling better today but have a runny nose. So we will see what happens with that might be my allergies.

How bout a Thursday morning rant? I have a high school friend who has been bugging me to sell out all California holdings, and move to Texas near him.
1. Why would I even think to do that?
2. If by life there in Texas is so good, why is he constantly complaining and bothering me?
3. That place is the same as any other one. You make it yourself (your own comfort zone) changing your location doesn’t mean happiness!
He’s been my friend, but I think he’s being a fool.
And he doesn’t raise chickens (I can’t trust anyone that doesn’t raise chickens) (No, I don’t trust my lawyers either, no chickens)
Rant over.
