How to use a Rapid Response Antigen Test for COVID-19 at home *Warning On False Negatives*

This is an awesome video. Well done. It made it easy for me. All you need is to follow this video.

I just took the test after having lost my voice and painful cough and I've had three boosters for the covid and I now have covid again it really really sucks

Imagine being stupid

Thanks. You got a sub. And I was negative.

can they make out where you can just swab the inside of your mouth> who wants to shove a giant Qtip up their nose

Thank you very much for your easy to follow, to-the-point walk-through. 😊

Nice clear explanation

Performed the nasopharyngeal swab in both nostrils on myself without difficulty. Did not hurt. Used a hand held mirror in the bathroom mirror to ensure swab was horizontal. Try it.

Swabbing back of throat prior to nostrils (update in description) makes sense. The original technique was an ambitious and uncomfortable nasopharyngeal reach to farthest end of the nasal passage where it meets the pharynx/throat. That required the long tool and tilting the head back.

Current two-pronged approach shouldn't require any particular head tilt to hit the spots. I suggest to minimize sneeze reflex turn off overhead lights and in any case don't look up.

I had one black line and one red line. Is that positive

Thank you for this straightforward explanation!
This really helped us.

Also in Ontario, they are not always available in the pharmacy. I picked up mine at the grocery store.

I though the tests in US were manually complicated if you have tremors. This seems even more so. And why post this how-to video now? Did Canada just authorize use of this test so late "in the game"??

Thank you

In Ontario we just ask and get them.
