    I still have some covid home tests, will these still throw a positive on the new variants? (Assuming the test is still good)

      before the “razor throat” was published, my wife and I both got it and the tests came back negative so we thought it was something else. Nope, it was totally ‘razor throat covid’. Wasted 2 tests (or maybe the tests are just too old now?)

        My mom had something in VA in mid-June and said it felt like razor blades in her throat. She tested negative for COVID. 🤔

        Same. The doctor gave me the at-home test and they came back negative twice. Then I took an actual COVID test at the doctor and that came back positive.
