Kind of defeats the point of an at-home test if you still need to get a prescription.
This is the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine candidate. Looks promising for older adults. These are Phase II results, I believe, and don't really examine efficacy.
NEW HOME COVID TEST
1. Pour a large glass of red wine. Try to smell it.
2. If you can smell the wine, drink it and see if you can taste it.
3. If you can smell and taste the wine it confirms you don't have Covid.
Last night I did the test 19 times and all were negative, thank God.
Tonight, I am going to do the test again, because this morning I woke with a headache and feel like I am coming down with something.
I am so nervous!

this is big news, probably biggest news in Covid. MUST get a vaccine approved and out there being distributed by end of year. Sooner that occurs and we can get the medical personnel and nursing homes vaccinated, this pandemic takes a huge turn as hospitalization rates (and deaths) are going to go way down.
