      Incase anyone was wondering what @becku means, the higher the PPA % is. The greater the sensitivity, the greater chance it has at detecting COVID-19, the less chance of a false negative.

          The Victorian government Is literally reporting these now (provided you actually submit the results) and other states will be going that way too - so in that sense it may be good to have a few with you. It may not be this deal, but I know a few friends who have symptoms (and some close contacts who don't) that would prefer to order online than trying to run around finding one.

      That's a bit overdramatic. There's barely a few deals for these in a day and they can be easily ignored.
      Kits are sold out almost everywhere and quite a few people need these to be allowed into work or get relief payments.

      But screw sick people that are wondering if they'll get their next paycheque, @Homerlovesbeer doesn't have this problem and needs his deal list to be squeaky clean so he doesn't miss his $2 discount on eneloop batteries.

          The fact that it was sold out at all and this post got a decent amount of attention means it helped some people. The fact that you want them removed means you're not that desperate for said paycheque(assuming what you said is even true), no need to screw over people who actually are just because you want to be an oversensitive pretentious Karen.

            I have, on the day of my previous post managed to get a position in test clinic and have tested positive.
            I'm unwell and annoyed and keeping it real.
            Maybe others should do the same.

            I should be able to walk into my local pharmacy and buy a small packet of test kits over the counter for immediate personal use.
            I should not have had to wait a week with no access to any possibility of testing.

            What's clearly happening here is that people are hoarding them, it's affected me first hand and damn right I'm going to be pissed about it.

      I depends on how much they bought them from their suppliers (not the price when they were manufactured). If they bought them at $10 then 20% markup will be $12.

      As a parent whose child is going to high school and only working PT due to illness (sob story) money is tight - Have to buy new shoes, books, mathematics gear, school cloths and Laptop money is tight and dont have spare money laying around or have Jenny to buy or seach for stock of these kits each week - Its bad timing to fork out $$$ for tests on top of it all. And as you state parents send kids to school sick - A mate whose son was doing chemo (pre covid) in primary got sick and ended up in hospital many times when kids came in sick even though the teacher told parents to inform the school if your child is feeling unwell and they will be put in a different class for the duration of cold, fever etc..Most parents didnt even bother telling the school when their kid was sick and in the same class. Also as being a transplant recipient im highly vulnerable so (profanity) sick of being worried of my kids or me getting so ill - If i get sick who is going to look after kids and free testing is so backed up, if i catch covid i will not find out quick enough to get treatment to help me from getting seriously ill - that is if there is enough treatment or space in hospital to treat me if i get Covid - So (profanity) no, scomo we are not taking covid wickets, many are struggling and scared

          But seriously, Just because you get omricon, doesn't mean your immune from the next mutation. Just ask Jocco, he apparently got Delta AND Omricon.

            @M00Cow: Immunity from mutations is almost impossible. This is where anti vaxxees have their ammunition, but also why their narrow perspective also infuriates me.
            Vaccines and exposure to the virus only ever increase your immunity, they never really make you immune.
            These vaccinations and exposures trigger b cell memories in our lymphatic system which sends the t cells to try and kill off covid.
            Vaccine was always meant to boost b cell memory to trigger a early response to fight off covid. It was never a cure same as catching one strain of covid.
            In saying that getting omicron should still help boost some level of immunity against delta and other variants as the coronavirus strain has the same nuclei just a different protein spike (from the 27 spikes) mutating.
            Anyway if we are going to get covid it's better to get a milder variant to begin with.

    1st - let Covid spread by encouraging new year fire works and opening boarder
    2nd - Changed.problem definition to test PCR test and make people suffer on long queue to get tested for free
    3rd - home test are not free but people to save their life buy home test at cost

    This all will be step towards privatising health care…and data will be used to prove to make people pay for pathology test in future in my opinion but who cares … !

    • sardines on 10/01/2022 - 08:12

      most people already pay for pathology tests - sometimes my specialist forgets to put "medicare" on blood form and i get a $200+ bill which i have to spend an hour on the phone each time for them to cancel the bill. If any of my kids get blood tests i have to ask the Dr to put on medicare but i know quite a few mates who do annual blood tests have to pay. The public system may die of 1000 cuts as it was pretty bad pre-covid - I mean the public health system saved my life literally many times since 7 years old and over the past 30 odd years its gotten scary how much stress its under.

      • Tyrx on 10/01/2022 - 10:22

        Medicare covers the cost of most pathology tests. The problem is that doctors and specialists send patients to private clinics with artificially high prices that exceed the allowable rebate limit, and they get kickbacks for doing so. You don't NEED to go to the clinic that your medical professional has partnered with - you can show up to any of pathology business with the form, and they will do the test for you.

        The whole "forgetting to put Medicare on the form" is because they are hoping to fleece more money out of you through the kickback. It honestly sounds like you need new doctors and specialists - that's not normal.

        • downbythecreek on 10/01/2022 - 10:45

          Can you tell me which pathology, radiology labs, specialists etc offer kickbacks? My wife and I will switch, all we have ever gotten for referrals has been the occasional gift basket at Christmas, and even then it's absolutely not expected..

          Do you think big pharma pays medical doctors and other prescribing clinicians as well?

          • Tyrx on 10/01/2022 - 12:09
            +1

            @downbythecreek: Why do you think the pathology industry has become a duopoly? The most common way it's done is through the pathology company renting a premise from the referring company at inflated prices - this is why so many medical chains will tell you "oh, don't worry - there's a pathology place next to us you can use". I'm not stating that direct financial payments are being provided - but this practice is well documented. It shouldn't come as news.

            I mean, people don't think they get branded pathology referral forms because the medical practice thinks that specific pathology place is super awesome, right? The common industry deflection tactic for that is stating something along the lines that the pathology place is "integrated" with their systems - that excuse is wearing a bit thin in 2022, even with the horrendous state of IT in the consumer medical industry.

            Do you think big pharma pays medical doctors and other prescribing clinicians as well?

            No - it's illegal to provide direct payments to prescribe specific types of medicine or brands. The pharmaceutical industry has other mechanisms that they use, and again this is well documented.

              @Tyrx: The biggest scandal of time will come out if there was anti corruption body at federal level similar to ICAC in NSW.. about Rapid Antigen Test.

              Guess, why did government not approved RAT for more then a year since i was approved and used in UK & USA? Obviously share price of Sonic went to sky because of that particular reason…. in my opinion.

              In addition after approving RAT they don't want to provide one because they don't want big scarry number to come out in the media everyday… !

              NSW numbers are 20,000+ today around 15,000 less because the PCR is not easy to get by, the RAT is not available so how on earth you will get positive test patients? This is called "If you can't solve the problem then change the problem defination"… lol

          I believe my specialist forgets as I have blood tests every 1-2 months. Also if I get blood tests from other pathologist the numbers apparently can be slightly different. This specialist deals in renal disease so would be writing dozens of blood forms a day - I haven't paid for a blood test in the 20 years I have been with him (besides my taxes)

        I have never paid a cent for pathology services even though I am not on centre link health card.

        For radiology you may need to pay out of pocket if you go to private practice but if you do the same in hospital then they are free.

        I was asked to do 3d x-ray of my teeth and I went to Westmead Hospital and they did it for free but dentist receptionist (that's how doctor force you using receptionist) keep insisting to do it in private practice in Norwest …now why on earth doctor insist if they getting nothing?

        Also after doing it in hospital doctor keep telling me that they have not received results for 20 days but hospital sent out results in 5 days…. All these dodgy practice are done by dentist who has 5 star review on Google… !

    having to buy 20 and its at $14 each is not a bargain when there have been very high sensitivity RATs on here which were 5 for 50

      Well, these are saliva ones so not as invasive as nasal and requires only a 3-step process.

    So funny thing here in QLD if you got to the hospital you get rapid tests for free. line up is like 10 min wait. and you get given a 2 pack test kit. So I wasted money on a 2 test kit when I could have just got it for free down the road.

    I have serveral mates now that have got a rapid test for free they just hand them out at reception. But you can only get "ONE" they don't let you take more than one.

      @kungfunman I have seen people saying on Reddit hospitals give out free RAT in the mornings. However they don't mention which hospital, do you know which ones are giving them out?

      • kungfuman on 10/01/2022 - 14:52

        are you in Queensland? because I don't know for other states. The one my friends went to was Princess Alexandra Hospital
