Are vaccinated were willing to get tested before the holidays because they wanted to see their families, they wanted to travel. now how do you motivate people to go out and get tested when its either expensive or a pain or even if they get it they know it will be mild and they dont want to quarantine? >> its going to be very difficult. people were clearly motivated to be able to travel and to be around people. thats going to change, but i think what we want to do is make testing as ubiquitous an...

The new “omicron” antigen test kits could be more fraudulent than the covid-19 PCR assays that came before. The FDA recently admitted that the new rapid covid-19 antigen tests do not properly [...]

Infections going out, the thing that you want to say is that, if you want to do things like that, better do them in a setting where you know the people around you are vaccinated and boosted, and thats the reason why ive been saying when asked about the holiday season, the safest thing to do is to be in a home setting, friends, relatives who you know are vaccinated and boosted, if you want to go the extra step of safety, then get a quick antigen test, which will give you an extra degree of safety...

Doctors say there is a time and a place for at-home COVID-19 tests. Doctors said at-home COVID tests are best used as a preventative measure, like before going to a gathering or visiting someone vulnerable.

Positive rapid antigen test or not, i agree with the admiral while the rapid antigen test has had a varying positive predictive value the ability whether or not its positive or not with is someone positive by the nih saying its not going to be as sensitive or not be able to predict a positive, i do think thats backtracking because of their lack of available tested i think rapid antigen tests are a way of coming out of this pandemic and allowing this virus be enitem enendemic. we need them now. >...

We dont know how antigen performs with regard to predicting transmissibility towards the end of your period of infection. so, with a negative antigen test, we still ask you to wear a mask, positive antigen test we say still wear a mask. since it wasnt going to make a difference in our recommendations we did not recommend a antigen at that period of time. >> mike: admiral, did the cdc just confuse everyone with updated guidelines. >> they certainly confused me and they themselves confused with th...
