What to do when covid isolating?#MaskRAT ๐Ÿ˜ท ๐Ÿ€

This illustrates:
1) importance of masking for source control
2) overdispersed nature of transmission

Top mask worn for ~45 min by person with strong RAT nasal swab, mask tested within 5 min, inside of mask was dry.

In this N of 2 experiment, the strength of RAT result on standard throat/nasal swab correlated with #MaskRAT result.

The bottom person (me) had multiple negative #MaskRATs and barely detectable nasal/throat RAT for 1 day (day 5)

2/4
An unfortunate finding during my RAT experiments:
My symptomatic children never tested positive on a RAT and I never tested positive on the RATs available in ON.

Without access to PCR testing for kids and case reporting in schools, weโ€™re intentionally flying blind.
