• 6% postive rate for asymptomatic clinical staff testing
• Infrastructure, security, and animal care, services stretched to the breaking point

I am going in on Friday to see two patients with no acute medical issues. At least they've been tested and quarantined for a while. Hope I don't infect them.

Is everybody being tested even if not feeling sick? Curious as to the positivity rate when a large population of healthy feeling people are tested.

I just ordered a half-dozen Binax test kits for monitored at-home testing before we leave at the end of the month. The USVI requires a test and result within 3 days of our departure, and I'm concerned about being able to get tested and results so quickly through the usual channels.

Not blue cars either.

Asymptomatic testing is voluntary for people working in our clinical building. It's an important surveillance and research tool.

They are supposedly ordering home tests for us.

I've always figured that at some point I'd test positive even if not feeling sick. Probably more than once.

I've resigned to fate.

You should. You always want 2, 3 or 4 crows, and never 1.

I'd rather count stars.

You warned us about covid too.

Maybe time to change from a bear to a canary in a coal mine?

People of Zwift. I'm having issues related to the group ride thing again. I can't ride with the group. We did an hour last night. First half was ok, everything was normal. Then like a switch was thrown I couldn't stay with the group. The effort to ride with them was too high let alone to go to the front. Just to catch the leader was 450 sustained watts. If I tried to draft it wasn't any easier. I ended up off the back spinning @100 watts if I put any more effort in it would act like a ramp test and require more and more power. Then with 5 minutes to go suddenly I couldn't stop myself from riding with them. I was literally putting the minimum effort and riding away from them. I've been trying to find information on this group riding thing to see if I am doing something to cause this but so far nothing is apparent.
