Mouth swab. The controversial one.

Mojo31

My wife hasn't been feeling well, and her doctor sent her out for the deep nasal test yesterday saying that the mount swab is only about 80% accurate.

Cold weather glove content, from one of my bike friends who is a year 'round outdoor cyclist. Edit: and I think he has Reynaud's syndrome too.

Maybe I should ask the doc for that if I don't feel better soon. I got the wheel back for my Seven and I felt good enough to go ride it for an hour yesterday. It was warm here and it felt great to sweat a little.
For some reason the guy re-used the old spokes which I've never had before. He must have misunderstood me. He's a new guy at the LBS. I didn't notice until I got home.

She told me her doc had to specifically request the more accurate test.

I have heated gloves, which I use mainly for driving and walking around. They're okay, but the heating element is only on the back of the glove, so it's only a partial help.

My Raynauds never comes on while I'm riding, even though my hands may go numb in the usual way. It's always a few minutes after I stop and will even happen after riding the trainer and in not-too-cold weather. I sometimes get it in my feet too, in the medial plantar nerve distribution, which is analogous to the median nerve, which is where I get it in the hand.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I'm feeling a little under the weather too.

Seems to be due to an annual cold sore flareup, but this one is accompanied by some sinus drainage and a headache which is novel, plus a very tender lymph node. They typically don't affect me this much.

I'm a bit achey, too, but I don't know if that's viral or from pushing myself a bit too hard on the trainer last night. Maybe a bit of both.

Yeah, and I suspect we'll stop rolling our eyes about coworkers calling in sick when they have the sniffles or the Asian folks who show up to work in masks.

Mojo31

That made me laugh.

How does one "prove otherwise"? I suppose the prudent thing is to assume Covid but with a negative test what more can I really do except avoid people and wait it out?

Anyone else play the Mega Millions today?

Yeah, ...no...just no.

abshipp 

Well now I'm worried that it's something else.

Velo Vol 

I don't recall seeing one of those (with a motor) in real life. They must have been junk.

ls01

It has been my experience, when that happens. Somebody changed their program/permision/software/firmware.. I usually delete and reinstall, most times the new permissions fixes it.

Velo Vol 

I need only go 13 miles for that.

cheater, thats like me when I'm decending.

Whats Wrong with bewb? I like bewb, although I prefer bewbs.

MoAlpha

That part applied to my particular workplace where they are actually "proving otherwise." As you suggested, you can always get tested again, but otherwise exactly as you say.

I had one for a while as a yout. Made a mini bike with the motor.
