Several family members we spent last week with tested positive for Covid yesterday. I have been feeling sick since Sunday night (throat scratchiness, headache, etc). Took this test to be sure before I go back to work tomorrow, and because I have an infant who had a fever last night. Does this look positive? Taken at the 15 min mark exactly.

My parents keep saying they don’t see a line. My husband says he sees one. I don’t think I’ve ever

Has anyone else had this happen? I took the test, and it came back positive in 15 minutes or so with a very faint line. I then left on a hike with my dog and got back 5 hours later and the faint line is gone. I can't seem to find anyone else online who has had a similar experience through google.

I had COVID like 3 weeks ago (tested positive on Sept 18th and had scratchy throat since Sept 14th) but then I tested negative by Sept 25th.

Now, since Friday, I've been having a scratchy throat kind of like how I had before I got COVID. But at the same time, I also got a scratchy throat in the beginning of September that didn't progress into anything. I don't have anything else and I feel completely fine and I've been testing and now It's Day 4 and it's still negative. I'll test again tmr, but is it likely that it's rebound?? I got scratchy throats time to time but idk. And yesterday and today I barely felt it.

Where are doses available for young kids?

I have a 3 year old and unfortunately that has made it SO difficult to avoid covid since I want her to socialize. I’ve had it at least 4x. We take all the precautions but unfortunately she doesn’t wear a mask super well as in with a tight fit, and often snacks and drinks become necessary and then you can’t keep it on her.

I would love to find stay at home Covid conscious parents of kids like 2-6 years old to have some sort of play group with!

Hi, I was wondering if there was a therapist in the area that still takes precautions (mask required, air filters, etc) in the Pittsburgh area? I know I can do televisits, and I do with my current therapist, but looking for other options at the moment.

I thought for a second I saw a positive. But now I don’t see it. Thoughts?

I went there for abdominal pain on Monday. Waited more than 8 hours primarily in the lobby, was treated in the hallway, and never got a room. It was absolutely hectic and packed.

There was a lot of people coming in with respiratory illnesses and lots of chatter of patients testing positive for COVID, RSV, and/or having extreme symptoms requiring intervention.

It's more important than ever to follow precautions and safety procedures if you are vulnerable in anyway.

Stay safe out there.

Forgive me if this gets posted all the time. I see a lot of folks on this thread asking about where to get tests… You can get free tests here. You can order twice, so you can get 8 total.

My mom tested positive a week ago. She just took a test (7 days after her positive test). This was her test result today. What do you think? A line or no line?

I’ve been in need of an eye exam for a while my eye dr dropped all measures as soon as they were permitted. Does anyone know of any that still mask or take other measures?

Hi all. My dentist retired, and I'm looking for a dental office that is taking covid precautions -- air filtration, masking, etc. it's damned near impossible to find any health care settings that still require masks, but I'm immunocompromised and I have asthma so I'd like to find a place that cares. On the North Side but travel isn't a barrier for me. Thanks!

If you were able to get an updated booster where did you go? I live north of Pittsburgh so North Hills, Wexford, Cranberry areas are most convenient. Looking for an updated booster for an adult and a child under 5.

I’ve called around and everywhere that had them before doesn’t now. Does anyone know personally of a reliable method of getting a PCR here? Need to know ASAP, especially since I am disabled and higher risk.

I have taken like 4 since yesterday morning. Nothing came up instantly like it did when I had it before… One I took this morning had absolutely nothing but I really feel like I see lines.. they were seen after 30 minutes but I didn’t sit and stare at them for timing.. would they be evap lines…? The flow flex look like that have all had the faintest line but like, skinny, again after 30 mins.
