Someone was talking about a new test that tested for both the covid and regular flu.
I didn't catch if it showed which one you had or just positive only.

So if it only shows positive, does that mean when flu season starts we will see claims of like 500,000 new cases a day on covid?
So we should prepare for total lockdown soon?
Better get more TP and Ramen noodles I guess.

Our test shows three results.

One swab.
COVID +/-
Flu A +/-
Flu B +/-

I saw on the news that there is an "at home" test coming out. I can just imagine how inaccurate that might be.

But is it a nasal swab or do you poop in a box and mail it off?
Pee on a stick maybe?
^^I'm a terrible comedian but seriously I saw those pregnancy tests for sale at the dollar store (Dollar Tree). I wondered how accurate they could be for $1.
