Canada is no longer shipping test kits as the ones out in the community are aging out.

In the case of "long" expired test kits are the trends and tendencies learning toward false positive or false negative results?
Thank You.

I just got over it for the first time. For two days it sucked. Mostly due to running a temp. For the next 7, I was just constantly clearing my throat and hacking phlegm. Beyond that, no big deal.
The Cochrane study was huge. 375+ cohorts. The "inconclusive" finding is due to inconsistent implementation. You can give people all the protection and safety equipment you want. Doesn't matter a lick if it's not used correctly.
Any other time, Cochrane studies are regarded as trustworthy, peer-revied, analysis. But not this time? Hmm.
In other CDC nonsense, they recently told people affected by wildfires that the same paper masks, including N95's do much of nothing to protect against smoke. The one, slight, problem is smoke particulate is much larger as compared to a virus. By that logic, are they inadvertently admitting masks don't slow spread of SARS?
Oh, and the 6 foot distance thing was arbitrarily made up in the 1950's.
There ya go. Have a nice day.

I am so ready to get the new vaccine this fall. Some protection is better than no protection.

Virus particles are much smaller than the "holes" in masks. The fact is that virus particles don't float around individually. There are vehicles to which they are attached - like water droplets, dust and other particles that are filtered to different degrees by masks. Thus there IS some protective basis for masking.
Ever watch the slow motion picture of a sneeze and the vapor distribution? That's where the distance factors come in. Does 6 feet or 10 feet separation completely protect you? No, but there is some protection in distancing.
