utee,

Sorry to hear about your son, I hope he gets better soon. I think my youngest probably has the same thing as he has shown some symptoms as well.

Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order #44 free at-⁠home COVID-⁠19 tests. The tests are completely free. Orders will usually ship in 7-12 days.

Order your tests now so you have them when you need them.

Waste of money. The at-home tests do not detect omicron very well. 

They work well with Delta and Alpha, however.

First-hand knowledge leads me to this opinion.

wasting money has been the theme since this thing hit

I assume that the more money that gets stirred up worldwide, the more money that finds it's way to China

Yup, we used our final at-home test for my son on Monday, came back negative.  Rapid-test at the Doc's an hour later, came back positive.

Since Omicron is by far the most common strain now, unless/until they recalibrate the at-home tests to detect it,  they're useless.

Thanks amigo.  He's doing fine, basically symptom-free as of this afternoon, but we'll be forced by the school board to NOT follow the science and keep him home an extra week. 

I hope your kiddo is OK too!

Yep.  I’ve had doctors and pharmacists tell me the same thing.  I became symptomatic Monday night and I’ve done three at home tests since then that have all came back negative, but my wife banished me to the upstairs with the kids anyway.  I might go get a send off test, I might not.  Right now, I’m working under the assumption I have COVID.

My daughter had a rough couple of days but seemed to feel better yesterday.  Son is just treating like a vacation.  We may never get the kids back on schedule.  Between Christmas break, snow days, and COVID they have been in school 7 days since December 17.

Now, now, they do allow for a certain hall pass to normalcy, which I assume is a perk for some folks. (That last part makes me think you or someone in the household caught omicron, and if so, hope it's highly mild. Though now that I think about it, I think we need a phrase of less than mild, or slightly more. Like no taste for a month isn't really "mild" but also not really "severe")

We had Omicron during the holiday season. No symptoms. Not detected with home test. Detected by PCR test.

We only tested because we were travelling, seeing a lot of people (a couple of un-vaxed) and some older folks and our grandbaby.

A week later, tested negative with a rapid (in order to have surgery).

I'm not a proponent of asymptomatic testing, unless you have been in situations of risk. It's pointless otherwise.

Fortunately, the loss of taste is apparently less an issue with Omicron compared to previous variants.  My brother, niece, and son never lost any taste or smell.
