  Sample size 1.

  I had it last week (my 3rd bout) and it was milder than any cold. Hopefully it is like that for others.

    When testing just remember, any positive at all, no matter how faint, means you are infectious.

      And false positive RAT’s are rare. Mind you that is my second one over the years.

      Last time I was verified negative by a PCR.

      False RAT negatives are more common.
