Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

I mean, what do you want me to say, presumably the test accuracy has not been studied with throat swabs if it's not listed as an option

if you have other information that applies specifically to this test let me know

It sounds like the mice in that XD study may have starved to death before their immune system could clear the infection. Mice can starve in a couple of days.

It's not the test, but rather the variant. Omicron is detected better if you took a swab in the back of your throat instead of nasally

well i have one left so i can give it a try, but what is your source for that info?

The tests are known to be more accurate for detecting Omicron when you include a throat swab. See, for instance, this study.

Go to Nova Scotia and swab your throat there, you're allowed.

Though if your symptoms started 10 days ago and subsided since then don't be surprised if it's negative. You'd likely be in the delayed immune system inflammation phase of the disease if it was in fact COVID.

Dude I’m sure the covid is just making you rude but Omicron being easier to detect via throat swab isn’t fringe news and we’ve said it a ton of times itt you literally could have googled “throat swab omicron”

like Israel and boosters, multiple countries have issued guidance on how to swab your throat for RATs while the US hems and haws

...

also, any rapid antigen tests you are taking right now were probably manufactured during the delta variant (if not earlier), while the instructions have not been updated since initial fda emergency approval

This was back when they were telling you to disinfect your groceries including fruit & veg for covid and there was a lot of confusion because some sources were like use a Lysol wipe and some were like use dish soap and some were like just use a little dish soap and some were like use bleach and some were like just a little bleach and some were like water and friction is fine so I’m not surprised a bunch of people googled it for help

it hasn't really subsided, and i'm doing two tests because it's been more than seven days. well now i'm doing a third test as well. it said one test is fine if it's in the first seven days.

i'm doing the throat one now, though I do think it's a bit odd that people cite preprints in the same way they would cite peer reviewed papers

omicron moved too fast for peer review. im glad you are trying the throat swab, but honestly if you are waiting for published peer review you are going to be months behind

Well now that the public health authority of the fine province of Nova Scotia has recommend throat swabbing that should settle the matter.

Don't know about GERD symptoms, but 2 weeks after acute symptoms I developed additional chest symptoms that were "weird". This included chest tightness and palpitations which are apparently not unusual, but also a kind of weird viral burn. Persisted until relatively recently too, though I'm getting better.

edit: should also mention that these delayed symptoms persisted a couple of months after testing negative on a rapid test.
