    I felt very anxious looking at the printed instructions but the video made it look easy and it was. I did note the brief steps printed on the test card were superb. When you are sick, anything greater than a paragraph is too much to read 😁

      I have filed several complaints about the nearly-illegible instructions included by Abbott in the test kits. An abomination, and people should complain to Abbott, to ADA departments, to their State, to the U.S. CDC, etc. - I do wonder, however, with this and other instructions, if 1 to 3/4 inches in the nostrils, is sufficient, as this is not close to the nares at the upper end of the nostrils.

She seems to be doing better than I but I will wait on any booster shots later in the year, maybe. We did have both Pfizer shots Jan-Feb 2021. I tested for anti-bodies in September and had none so I said why take the shot if it only protects for about 3 months. I still believe if people want the covid vaccine go for it.

      @@LawnBunny777 oh so you only have one sided arguments? Makes sense to your ignorance. Also your assumptions couldn’t be any further from the truth, all in all your ignorance is no surprise to me. You sound like you’ve never had an original thought in your entire life, I’m sorry you’re stuck living in a fairytale.

      I agree. I’m a little worried about some of the folks commenting how hard it is (or confusing, unclear, not explained well.) these are our fellow human beings who we must assume most of them passed HS, At least, if not college. For instance, if you can’t do this test by following along with this video, how could you get a Passing score on ACT/SAT, (I think they’re faxing those out anyway)? Or fill out a job application, or write an essay?
      Good luck all!
      I hope none of you died from the ‘vid! I remember we used to call it, the HIV, now it’s the ‘vid. Cue Bob Dylan, “oh the times they are a-changin’!

    I was trying so hard to get it right so i watched the video so closely & when it said to keep it laid flat, it was upright. Then, it said to put the drops in. I ended up putting the liquid onto the little window for the control / sample line. I had to watch it over again to realize where I went wrong. Just commenting so others know not to make this mistake.

    Question: why do the instructions say not to take a Covid test within six months of facial surgery, and would that include tooth extraction?

    Thank you for this. The test we purchased only came with Spanish instructions 😅
