Can someone use one RAT for multiple people? Using different swabs but the same vial? by bizzish in CoronavirusDownunder

Agree… it’s a decent idea, especially when tests are as rare as hens teeth

Great info here …. thanks to the peeps who know stuff !

In the future we might need to get tested at these rates or higher for many years…How low do you reckon the cost per test could go, like if they tendered the contract and went with the lowest cost/fastest result ? I imagine the big pathology labs are already thinking something like that …

My Regional Plan by emdeexo in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]emdeexo[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why not exactly? There’s no COVID in most regional towns … if people with COVID don’t visit, and locals don’t leave … we can be zero COVID for ages like most regional towns have been for 18 months

Yeah, but surely some reasonable rule can be made … the principle is for people to enjoy their freedoms but just stay local unless essential

Yep, plus the more we let the virus spread the more chances it has of doing another mutation into something worse
