      Informal survey! People who got infected and were able to test frequently during this recent Omicron wave. On what day did you stop testing positive? (Day 1=first symptoms or first positive, whichever sooner. If no symptoms, day of ve+ test). Please RT!🙏 Tests pics welcome!

      Antigen. Not sure if anyone is getting daily/frequent PCR testing. Outside of very specialized settings, perhaps, wouldn’t seem like a good idea.https://twitter.com/k_stiglich/status/1477305672266141697 …

      I’m interested in the result of this survey although it would probably be important to clarify wether this refers to antigen or pcr tests.

          Also, if you tested positive with an at-home test. Did you report it anywhere?

          Indeed. For this subset, I don’t mean you for this survey but likely small enough a group. Still, feel free to reply in the mentions.https://twitter.com/seanogallagher/status/1477308344683614209 …

          In entertainment it’s not uncommon for those closest to talent (me, for example) to be PCR tested 3-5x a week. Of course it’s onsite and the equipment and testing personnel are part of the production.

          I’ll post updated results regularly for the curious and will delete/replace them. Yes it is informal, but please don’t skew the results just to see them!🙏 Also: I’m obviously *not* commenting on frequent testing. I know some people do, because of work or personal circumstances.pic.twitter.com/g1UJ0ncqbe

          Results: 43% report still testing positive on antigen tests on day 8 or later (that’s day 9 by CDC definition—they count from day 0). I ran the poll because of the pile of anectodes of lengty ve+ period, all from 2x and 3x vaxxed people. This is informal, but clearly a thing.pic.twitter.com/H6oRJR77Lm

          True, but it’s common to use a combination of both (frequent antigen, ocasional pcr).

          Btw, people close to me who got covid recently: every antigen test was negative, only 1 of 3 tested positive on a PCR. The other two tested negative on PCR but were in close contact with the person who tested positive, had symptoms and lost smell, so they assume they got it too.

          I'd really love to understand how the CUE at-home molecular test compares against antigen in terms of days it can detect virus presence. E.g. all Google employees have access (if they choose to) to this and enough tests to test dailyhttps://www.cuehealth.com/products/how-cue-detects-covid-19/ …

          It should be ~equivalent to PCR

          Why doesn’t frequent PCR testing seem like a good idea? Here in Vienna it’s convenient and free to do frequent or even daily PCR tests. That’s what most locals I know have been doing for months.

          She's talking about post-infection. PCR will continue saying positive long after you stop being infectious so there's no point in continuing to test with it after the first
