Please let people know that they can report their home test results - both positive AND negative, please! - at MakeMyTestCount.org.

If we can get that address into the public consciousness and get people used to reporting as a matter of course, it would be a great boon. When home multiplex tests come out this winter, you'll be able to report results of flu tests, too. Please - you have such a great reach, please use it to let people know about this resource!

I know 4 people in their late '70s who got Covid, phoned their internists (at reputable institutions on both coasts), and were told they did not need Paxlovid because their files did not indicate they were at increased risk for a serious case. My GP on the other hand, prescribed me and my wife Paxlovid to take with us on a trip, "just in case we needed it", even though we had no particular indicators other than our age (75 and 79). Worrisome that reputable doctors are not in sync with the CDC regarding a proven method to reduce risk of hospitalization and death from this serious disease.
