Miami Personal Injury Lawyer shares information on quick COVID-19 tests and OTC tests.
In a time where everything is now and as quickly as possible, knowing whether or not you have COVID takes the cake. Based on paranoia and on a push to have everyone in the world vaccinated, the US government and big pharma have come up with ways for people to get tested at home and at multiple sites. This is because with a more new cases and more new strains, comes more money for the federal government and their pharmaceutical cohorts. Afterall, it’s the taxpayers who are paying for the “free” shots.
Much in the same way you can order a Big Mac at a McDonald’s drive-thru, you can get a COVID test and shot. It’s as simple as that.

However, since the Omicron wave of terror hit the U.S., there aren’t enough tests to be sold. In other words, the pharmaceutical industry continues to capitalize on the whole COVID pandemic scene.
Experts believe that rapid antigen tests have a greater ability to detect higher levels of the coronavirus. In this case, a positive COVID test result will probably show an individual to be highly contagious. However, they may have higher rates of false negatives over the more accurate PCR tests given that they have greater sensibility and detect lower levels of coronavirus.
