Had second test today.
Not so bad the second time around when you know what to expect.
 
Some interesting observations...

Me - Tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 using a PCR test before the birth of our son and recently tested negative for antibodies using a rapid test.
Fiancé - Tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 at 35 weeks pregnant using a PCR test after showing flu like symptoms and has twice tested positive for antibodies using a rapid test.
Future BIL - Tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 using a PCR test after showing flu like symptoms.
Future FIL - Tested positive for antibodies using a rapid test and can only remember one period when he had very mild flu like symptoms but didn't have a PCR test at that stage.
Fiancé's Cousin - Tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 using a PCR test after showing flu like symptoms but negative for antibodies using a rapid test.
Fiancé's Cousin Fiancé - Tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 using a PCR test after showing flu like symptoms, tested positive for antibodies using a rapid test but recently negative for antibodies using a rapid test.
Factory Worker - Tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 using a rapid test bu ta subsequent PCR test on the same day tested negative.


P.S. These are basic descriptions not including time which may be an important factor, in some cases like my fiance's cousins fiance, there was something like 9 months between the positive PCR test and the last negative rapid test. I was in contact with every person on the list at some pointe except except the factory worker, who works at my fiancé's family company and has been in contact with my fiancé, future FIL, future BIL and fiancé's cousin.

2x nose and 2x throat all negative.
I kept getting sick over the past 4 months with chest issues.
Docs kept sending me for covid tests until I ended up in ER after struggling to breathe.
Turns out I've developed severe asthma as an adult.

6 now after more consults and lung function test.
My lungs went from being 100% to absolute rubbish in the past year.
Also now have sinus issues and heartburn which I never suffered from before.

This is after myself, wife and son got really sick this time last year and was not tested for COVID.
I had very mild symptoms but never recovered.
 
14 PCR, only one positive - isolated at home for 14 days feeling kak.
 
One PCR, otherwise about 17 rapid. If you want to do anything admin you need a test here, so going to go Monday again probably.
 
Have been feeling weird over the last few days. Went to Medicross today and they recommended a COVID19 test. Glad they didn't stick the swab up my nostril :). PathCare stated I should get the result by tomorrow midday.
 
Still not had a test, tho wife is on her 7th ... , she one of the Super vunerable ones, sugar, asthma, high blood, heard, chronic sinisitus ...
 
Did my first test yesterday. The nasal swab felt so weird. Tested positive. Woke up for a run this morning but thought it prudent I not go run on the beach given the test result that came through during the night.

No symptoms other than loss of taste and smell.
