2 years into pandemic and i wonder kung accurate ba talaga ung swabtest. I experienced all symptoms september last year pero negative din, i still isolated kasi wala akong panlasa and pang amoy for over a week.
12:52 very accurate naman yung RT PCR (90%+)but wala naman 100% accurate. Maraming factor din that can affect the accuracy of the test like timing, yung skill ng nag swab etc. tas minsan nagkaka contamination pa sa lab or clerical error. In any case, basta may symtoms, best isolate immediately. Mas devastating naman kung covid talaga tas akala mo hindi tas marami kang nahawaan sa bahay o ka trabaho. Sakin baliktad, nag positive ako after mandatory RT PCR kasi HCW ako tas totally no symptoms, as in nag ttreadmill pa ako dun sa room kung saan ako nag isolate. Ni RT PCR din buong household tas wala naman nag positive. After matapos isolation, na curious ako kung talagang na covid ako so pinacheck ko antibodies (this was before may bakuna) wala, meaning di ako nagka covid. In any case, basta may symtoms, best isolate immediately. Mas devastating naman kung covid talaga tas akala mo hindi tas marami kang nahawaan sa bahay o ka trabaho.
Swabtest is still very dependent on the the swabber. Pwede din na negative ko lang that day. Pwedeng low viral load ka kaya negative ang swab. Kaya may recommended day of illness na recommended magswab para mas reliablr and result. I'm a hcw and we have had patients sa ICU na negative on admission pero yung symptoms mukhang covid so we reswabbed and positive.
12:52 The rt-pcr works as intended. Baka hindi ka lang naswab ng maayos or baka hindi naman talaga covid at flu lang. Flu like naman talaga symptoms ng covid diba. You did a good job by isolating yourself. Better safe than sorry.
12.45 i was reswabbed, around day14 ko na of isolation since surge din nun. Negative din. I was okay althroughout except days7-10 na altho okay ako feel ko hindi okay breathing ko, even my pulse rate was low at times. (based sa 2 oximeters na gamit ko)
Anyway napahaba but ang point ko lang actually is hindi sya talaga reliable, much more ung mass testing na gusto ng iba. Better to isolate na lang talaga at home if kaya or sa mga facilities ng lgu.
Not all flu like symptoms are covid but given the surge and increased transmissibility ng omicron, syempre karamihan ng may sintomas ng tranvkaso these days ay covid. But good na nag isolate agad kayo para sure. Flu din naman nakakahawa tas pwede rin sabay magka flu and covid.
yan na lang ginawa ko. hindi nako nagpa swab test at napaka haba ng pila. mas stress lang ako lalo. i had cough, sore throat and clogged nose. imp mag isolate agad para di ka makapanghawa.
i know covid19 is a very serious matter..pero and dami lang talagang celeb,x celeb,feeling celeb,feelingera na ginagawang platform para magpa pansin re:the virus..yes,yes,yung iba gives motivation to fight and gives inspiration..pero yung iba talaga,majority...KSP lang.
basta may symptoms ka ng covid kahit nasa loob ka lang ng bahay at di umaalis, covid na agad yun, automatic test at postive.
ReplyDeleteSaan mo naman nakuha yan? Tatay nagkaroon ng lahat ng symptoms pero negative. Wag nagkakalat ng fake news teh.
Delete12:53, sarcastic ang comment ni 12:05, nalagpasan ka. Hahaha
DeleteNot true na tested positive agad pag may symptoms. Nagkatrangkaso kami ng mother ko. Need ko magpaswab test, negative naman ako.
ReplyDelete2 years into pandemic and i wonder kung accurate ba talaga ung swabtest. I experienced all symptoms september last year pero negative din, i still isolated kasi wala akong panlasa and pang amoy for over a week.
DeleteSa 5th day ka ba from onset ng symptom nag swab? Rtpcr ba?
DeleteKahit negative ka, dapat quarantine parin ng 10 days, hcw ka?
negative ka lang on that day pwedeng positive ka na sa mga sumunod na araw unless araw araw ka nag pa test

Delete12:52 ofcourse hindi naman 100% accurate talaga ang pcr test kasi may human error pa rin and timing ng pag collect ng specimen.

Not true, nagkatrangkaso kami ng mother ko, nagpaswab tets and we're both negative. Importante ang magself isolation.

basta may flu LIKE symptoms treat is as COVID na lang! Para mas sure unless nag hihingalo ka pa admit ka na!
