out the loop on these (*and like I've said many times over, I'm dumb as hell) - Is Jackson covid + or are we (somewhat safely) assuming that Biden is by this point?

even though i'm a biostatistician I don't work with sensitivity and specificity stuff, i do survival analysis. are multiple tests on the same individual considered independent events? I would think not, but I'm wondering if you can do multiple tests to reduce the likelihood of false negatives, i.e. I would think it's more likely I'm negative the more tests that give that result (assuming all tests are negative of course).

No, they're not independent. False negatives often happen because it's too soon or too late for the virus levels to have peaked, but the person can still be contagious.

i’m not a statistician so i can’t be sure i’m answering your question but you’re basically describing the reason that rapid tests are meant to be used in succession even following a negative result. the instructions i’ve seen all say to do another test 24 hours after a negative to make more certain that’s actually the case

with that said the tests don’t seem to work well at all on picking up omicron or derivatives

it owns, I have everybody convinced I'm forever busy and realistically I put in like maybe 3 hours of work a day. I'm just very, very quick and efficient at what I do and can get things done in half the time as other folks I know though I'm the only one in my company who does what I do, which helps.

I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard of anyone I know IRL actually doing 2 rapid tests and whenever I suggested that one might not be enough it was met with a groan.

Had to go into the office today, was not negotiable.

IT guy is respirator crew. :respek:
Gal I trained to take over my old job: bare faced even though it's the one day of the week designated as mandatory mask day. Which is why I loving asked for this day if I had to come in.

But you know what? I just relaxed and did my job to the gentle rhythm of my Aura collapsing and expanding softly against my face with every perfectly sealed breath and chatted pleasantly with anyone who wandered by :blessed:

then I checked the thread and saw the $55 billion in COVID aid for restaurants and cracked my last ping

I can't emphasize enough - the you can lie post is great.

My husband just always says that im immunocompromised and he doesnt want to maim or kill me any time people ask him to do poo poo.

I while not officially diagnosed as immunocompromised have had pneumonia a few times and every resp infection fucks me for months so its close enough that I just say "yeah i would probably be hosed with covid"

Just lie. Find someone to lie about or stretch the truth as far as you can.

I’ve kept my very elderly mom alive since this started by telling her to blame not being able to do stuff on me. I don’t give a rat’s rear end that her friends think I’m nuts. I do feel bad about her final years being like this, but at least she’s alive and I talk to her on the phone. She is starting to cave lately, because everyone else is ok and are doing things, even though a friend of hers son died in January from it and she hasn’t seen her neighbor since last fall because she came down with a terrible pneumonia after vacationing in Florida.

My lie is I'm that sommelier guy who's taking it super seriously because if he loses his sense of taste or smell his career is hosed.
