Coronavirus testing just got EASIER than ever [Results in 30 mins!]
Ever since the coronavirus pandemic struck, going about our daily lives has felt like swimming in shark-infested waters.
We don’t know WHO we might encounter that might be infected…
And we don’t know WHO we might infect if it turns out WE’RE carrying the virus!
Because while it’s EASY to spot symptoms like coughing and sneezing… those aren’t the ONLY ways this virus can be transmitted.
Some folks who’ve come down with COVID-19 don’t even know when or where they “caught” the coronavirus!
That’s just ONE of the reasons why the last several months have been some of the most CONFUSING that any of us will EVER experience in our lifetimes.
But the latest news might offer a glimmer of hope in helping us better UNDERSTAND how this disease spreads…
And maybe even give us a little peace of mind.
When ignorance ISN’T bliss
Up until now, if you might’ve been exposed to the coronavirus… or you thought you were exhibiting symptoms that matched those of COVID-19…
You’d have to worry about how you were going to get tested.
Depending on where you live, you might need to get a doctor’s note… reserve a time slot… or even pay out of pocket.
And that’s if you were able find a testing site near you – ideally one that wouldn’t put you at risk by SUBJECTING you to other folks who might be infected.
But that’s all about to change…
Because the feds just did something good for once.
They made it easier to take a coronavirus test… and get results… FAST.
The FDA just issued an emergency authorization for an at-home coronavirus test – called the Lucira COVID-19 All-in-One Test Kit.
Now, this is brand-new… so we don’t yet know what exactly is going to happen when the public starts using it.
But early findings from the test’s manufacturer show it to be HIGHLY accurate – both in terms of positive AND negative results.
Imagine being able to take a sample in the comfort of your own home… maybe while you’re still wearing your pajamas… and get results within 30 minutes!
This latest rapid test to be approved is MUCH faster than any prior home tests, which require you to ship your sample to a lab… and wait DAYS for the results.
You don’t need ANY special training to administer it. In fact, it couldn’t be EASIER!
The only hitch? You’ll need a prescription to get it… for now, anyway.
But with results coming in more quickly, you might be able to feel more at ease.
And if a test you take DOES return a positive result, you can start to self-isolate… or get the care you need… more quickly than ever before.
Just as with any other type of coronavirus test, a negative result doesn’t mean the virus CAN’T or WON’T still take hold.
As one biotech exec told The Washington Post, home tests are “just one piece of the puzzle.”
So, DON’T let increased access to testing give you a false sense of security… and DON’T rest on your laurels.
You’ll still need to take precautions.
And that includes getting your immune troops READY for battle.
Over the course of the last few months, I’ve shared a few tips and tricks for boosting immunity with you right here in eAlert.
You can refresh your memory by accessing the archives for the usual suspects for immune support… as well as some immune boosters that are a little more “out there.”
