I think a lot of people on here are misunderstanding what the purpose of this is. This is proactive approach rather than a reactionary approach. Meaning you should get these tests and have them on hand in case you ever in the future think you may have contracted Covid. They are not for someone who at the last minute says “I think I have Covid and I have to know right now and I need to order a test and get it tomorrow so I can see in a couple of days”. ! See how that works? So if you need a test right now then you’d better go out hunting for one and hope your insurance company will reimburse you(most aren’t for the full amount), otherwise you’re out of luck.


Man, I wish I made those kits. Whew!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. That's some major "take over a country" money....and then some! Wait...ahttp://www....now what a minute. With a virus that's becoming far less pathogenic, why all the testing With more knowledge of treatments and at home protocols to weather symptoms (THERAPUTICs)...what's with the huge uptick in testing??? And how come my friends family member who died of a heart aneurysm last week, was marked as a CoV death on her death certificate WHEN....THE ...DAY....BEFORE....SHE....WAS....RUSHED....TO.....THE.... HOSPITAL....SHE was tested and it came back negative. No symptoms of being sick. She had chest pains and ambulance was called. She had a family history of heart aneurysms. DOCTOR WHO DID THIS WORKS AT TORRANCE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY. This is being addressed by family members who are outraged. Meh...I'm sure it's just a one-off. Nothing to see here folks.

Medical masks are commonly used in health care settings to protect healthcare workers (HCWs) from respiratory and other infections. Airborne respiratory pathogens may settle on the surface of used masks layers, resulting in contamination. The main aim of this study was to study the presence of viruses on the surface of medical masks.

Methods
Two pilot studies in laboratory and clinical settings were carried out to determine the areas of masks likely to contain maximum viral particles. A laboratory study using a mannequin and fluorescent spray showed maximum particles concentrated on upper right, middle and left sections of the medical masks. These findings were confirmed through a small clinical study. The main study was then conducted in high-risk wards of three selected hospitals in Beijing China. Participants (n = 148) were asked to wear medical masks for a shift (6–8 h) or as long as they could tolerate. Used samples of medical masks were tested for presence of respiratory viruses in upper sections of the medical masks, in line with the pilot studies.

Results
Overall virus positivity rate was 10.1% (15/148). Commonly isolated viruses from masks samples were adenovirus (n = 7), bocavirus (n = 2), respiratory syncytial virus (n = 2) and influenza virus (n = 2). Virus positivity was significantly higher in masks samples worn for > 6 h (14.1%, 14/99 versus 1.2%, 1/49, OR 7.9, 95% CI 1.01–61.99) and in samples used by participants who examined > 25 patients per day (16.9%, 12/71 versus 3.9%, 3/77, OR 5.02, 95% CI 1.35–18.60). Most of the participants (83.8%, 124/148) reported at least one problem associated with mask use. Commonly reported problems were pressure on face (16.9%, 25/148), breathing difficulty (12.2%, 18/148), discomfort (9.5% 14/148), trouble communicating with the patient (7.4%, 11/148) and headache (6.1%, 9/148).

Conclusion
Respiratory pathogens on the outer surface of the used medical masks may result in self-contamination. The risk is higher with longer duration of mask use (> 6 h) and with higher rates of clinical contact. Protocols on duration of mask use should specify a maximum time of continuous use, and should consider guidance in high contact settings. Viruses were isolated from the upper sections of around 10% samples, but other sections of masks may also be contaminated. HCWs should be aware of these risks in order to protect themselves and people around them.
