Testing for COVID-19 is one of the components helping us to get out of this pandemic. The Biden Administration announced a plan to distribute free tests to households, if they so desired, starting in January. Households could sign up online, including via the U.S. Postal Service. We did so. The free tests we ordered arrived in today’s mail.

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) IgG Interp
NegativeDate: Jun 04, 2020 06:09 p.m. CDT
Reference Range: Negative
Ordered By: Infection Control, Physician
Note: Jun 04, 2020 07:14 p.m. CDTComment:
This test is not FDA approved although it was released under the COVID-19 Emergency Release Act.
• Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in those who have been in contact with the virus. Follow-up testing with a molecular diagnostic should be considered to rule out infection in these individuals.
• Results from antibody testing should not be used as the sole basis to diagnose or exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection or to inform infection status.
• Positive results may be due to past or present infection with non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains, such as coronavirus HKU1, NL63, OC43, or 229E.
Nothing has changed.
Wear a damn mask. And while you’re at it, wear some damn gloves.
Stay Home. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. Good luck to us all.
