Our dear friends in Florida are down with the 'Rona. It has been kicking their asses for the past two weeks. Both parents work and are home sick. Both kids are also home sick. It has been bad for them. It has been worse for them that previous variants. That surprised me, because I was under the impression that the most recent Covid variant -- KP1, KP2 and KP3 -- were fairly mild.
Now here's a worry. Yes, this is anecdotal, but my buddy is not a liar. His job takes him to people's homes, so he still uses the LFT self-covid test. He tested negative with the LFT. His wife went to hospital because she is immune compromised, and they tested her positive for Covid.
That is not conclusive, however if the LFTs no longer work for the latest mutations/variants, then we are in a world of shit.
