[quote:KickinIt:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzgwMDc0MjMyXzRBREUxNzNB] [quote:Simple27:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzgwMDcxODU4X0M2MTgyQzQ2] [quote:KickinIt:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzgwMDY5MjgyXzY2MjAzRjlD] [quote:Simple27:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzgwMDY3NTI4Xzk5OEE1RkJF] Just got back home a little while ago from bringing nanny to get tested again. She's not sick or showing symptoms, just making sure she hasn't gotten it since my aunt lives there. I pray she is still negative. She got the same test as before. The one that they jam the stick up into your brain. She said it hurt this time. Last time she took it like a champ. No flinching or anything. I was holding her hand this time and she jumped when they did it. My aunt is also gonna be retested (a third time for her). She's waiting to hear back from her doctor to find out when she can go. Her doctor said that it's possible the virus is still inside of her, but dead and not able to spread, and that may be why she has tested positive twice now but is seemingly healthy. Who really knows. No one obviously. But for the sake of both nanny and my aunt's sanity, I pray her next test is negative. Whadda mess :\ [/quote] This whole thing is a goddamn clusterfuck! IF your aunt's test result was reliable, I would think she would've shown symptoms by now if she was going to get sick from it. Perhaps she's just lucky. of course, the question is if the test is even reliable. Regardless, I hope her and your grandma stay safe and healthy. [/quote] Yes, it's all mind boggling. I believe the worst of any symptoms my aunt may have had that were related to the virus are long gone. And if she even had [i]related[/i] symptoms, yes, she was lucky and they were mild and not long lasting. I'm not worried about her getting sick at this point, but I do worry about whether or not she can spread it to anyone else. I'm not sure if there's ever been a straight answer as to how long someone can spread it after testing positive. :1dunno1: My aunt has already had 2 separate positive tests. The second test was about a week and a half after the first test and was done by a different medical facility from the first test. We don't know what to think about the reliability of the tests now. After the first positive result we all started to think it was a false positive, but then she had that second positive test. Weird, all of it. I really don't know why nanny waited so long for a second test. I wasn't even aware that she was planning to be tested a second time for the virus. I thought she only wanted an antibody test when available. She claims she hasn't had symptoms and just wants to be sure again because of my aunt's tests. Hopefully she's being 100% honest about that. [/quote] I just read a 2nd article last night about how crappy the reliability is for the antibody test. I think the virus test is slightly more reliable than the antibody test at this point. Which isn't saying much, but I think for right now your granny is better off with that?? It's hard to say, none of our options to try and help ourselves are good. But what is the alternative - avoiding each other forever? [/quote]

I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
