As I continue to use expired/about-to-expire rapid tests (RATs) to test my poop, it is with mixed feelings that I report:

I have NOT lost my sense of smell.

And, definitely wash your hands when working with poop.

A short thread on a few other things I've learned follows.

1/7 Photo of two types of rapid tests, a lime-green box expiring 2024-01-01, the dark-green-and-white expiring 2023-05-06
I found best – expired (2023-05-06) BNTX dark-green-and-white box (with short swabs+one-piece pre-filled buffer tubes).

I'm generally not militant re expiration dates, and definitely not on this.

Presciently, it's the only kit that had little biohazard-marked Ziploc bags.

2/7 Image
Minutes before running the poop tests (right), I swabbed for separate set of tests (left) between back gums/cheek, as back-of-tongue as I could get, and both nostrils as far up as I could get.

Shown also are SD Biosensor Standard Q (magenta+white box/tests)–expires 2024-01.

3/7

Imagine you're in a sudden disaster like a burning building, sinking ship, airplane crash, where your goal is to get out quickly before you die.

Now, you would think that everyone around you would have the same goal, right?

Researchers in disaster behavior know otherwise.

1/6
The most cited proportions (reference in final tweet) are:

1) 10-15% will have their wits about them, understand the danger of staying put, devise a plan to escape, and act on that plan.

Covid-aware folks are in this small minority, but may be doubting their sanity.

2/6
2) "The second group, comprising approximately 75% of the population, will be stunned and bewildered, showing impaired reasoning and sluggish thinking. They will behave in a reflexive, almost automatic manner."

This is the maskless majority of folks living their 2019 lives.

Even if you're wearing an N95 or better, it only works when it's sealed on your face.

It doesn't work when off – not for eating, drinking, speaking, nor "mask breaks."

An analogy to clarify mask/respirator misuse that leads people to sincerely conclude they don't work...1/
Ever go on a drive, where for whatever reason, you didn't wear your seatbelt?

You arrive at your destination without incident and completely un-injured. Do you wonder, I was fine without a seatbelt, why wear seatbelts ever?

Answer: No, you wear them in case of a collision. 2/
Have you ever gone on a drive, where despite wearing your seatbelt, you got into an accident and got injured?

Do you swear off seatbelts, proclaiming they don't work?

Answer: No, wearing your seatbelt likely reduced the severity of your injury sustained during the accident. 3/
