Was it the diabetes that DQ'd me or do they only expect people to ask for tests when they're already sick so they can wait several days to get one in the mail? WTF?

 on the subject of pollinators, I learned that figs that are pollinated by wasps (as in one crawled in and died) are way bigger and juicier than unpollinated figs

Look I'm sure that's an absolute unit of a fig and I'm sure people like them but I'm not going out of my way to eat something that reminds me of wasps. I'll keep it to the rare fig Newton thanks.

The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗 https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/bridge/index.html quote:CDC’s Bridge Access Program provides no-cost COVID-19 vaccines to adults without health insurance and adults whose insurance does not cover all COVID-19 vaccine costs.

It would be pretty awesome to self test and figure out if a doctor is needed or not. They exist but you are only permitted to have them if your refrigerator sports a medical degree. They’ll give you home tests for HIV though. Platystemon has issued a correction as of 23:42 on Sep 20, 2023 |

tangy yet delightful posted:I wonder if they changed the requirements, I indicated that I did have insurance (true) but that I had not sought/postponed medical care due to cost (also true). Who knows They definitely changed the requirements. I didn't lie about having insurance when I grabbed mine awhile ago. And I got the same rejection you all got just now when I tried to get a few under my wife's email. They need an option "I have insurance but it doesn't cover tests anymore" .

Yeah in the early days I was trying to get an import licence in AU and was talking to manufacturers. That's when I learnt you can get RATs for *a lot* of pathogens. It's actually super cool. I looked into PCR testing too, it's actually super easy to do, but the reagents are expensive ($10-20 per test, but you need to buy enough to do 80+) and they expire really fast even if you can keep them at subzero temperatures. loving amazing that the primer to test for covid is sold in 0.22ml vials, which is enough to do 80+ tests. I'd love to set up to do PCR testing for various things, but unless I had a way to produce my own reagents or store them long term it isn't really viable.

Zugzwang posted:Out of curiosity, what did your research turn up for measuring the results of PCR? I'm trying to think of the easiest ways to do it in a DIY setting; probably with most hydrolysis probes or intercalating dyes, you could use a blue LED or blue laser pointer to see if it lights up green. It's interesting to ponder. The primer I was looking at makes it very easy to just eyeball the result. Yellow = covid, red = no covid. They also sell a primer for use as a control which works the same way. https://www.neb.com/en-au/products/s1883-sars-cov-2-lamp-primer-mix-ne#Product%20Information How is the result detected generally in a lab setting? I had a hard time determining that to be honest. yoloer420 has issued a correction as of 00:41 on Sep 21, 2023 |

In addition to mailing tests for free, make the drat insurance companies pay again or have free testing clinics everywhere again. You can’t get a free PCR test at a pharmacy anymore.
