Thread: Guess I survived the Crappie Expo

Maybe more at Crappie.com out of respect and concern for Slab’s situation.
I was sick at my stomach Tuesday but no other symptoms. Vicki and I decided a Covid test was probably in order just to be sure. A local pharmacy offers rapid testing and our insurance pays for it.
I was tested a couple hours ago and was notified of a NEGATIVE test a bit later. I’m very grateful. This was my 4th test.

Those Abbott Labs rapid test only have a sensitivity rating of 85%. That means that it missed 15% of the time. That is to say you can test negative and still have the virus. The PCR test is much more accurate and reliable.

Yep, I tested negative too. Glad you did too, and thank you so much for helping out. It was a good time, but coulda been better had we not had the stinking virus thing going on!
