            @buckster: Yes, but he ordered a whole heap when they were still in short supply (due to not much production) globally.

            I'm not sure if there's ample supply globally now and we are just refusing to buy it, or if big corporations have got in and stolen stock that we could've had.

              @morse: Some, not all.

              There have been no RATs for purchase, or from testing centres within an hour of where I live for more than three weeks. And the local testing centre is only open three days a week for two hours each morning.

              I found out I was a close contact on a Sunday, wasn't able to get tested until Wednesday (but was lucky enough to get my result the next day, while other people tested at the same location have sometimes had to wait a week, or been told that they need to be re-tested because they didn't get to process their test in time).

              • epoch on 20/01/2022 - 14:37

                @kapone: Just an FYI, you can turn up to booking sites and if they have time/space they will usually let you in because you are there either a) symtomatic or b) told to be tested as a close contact, get there as early as possible and dont worry about booking unless its for your day 6 test as a close contact.
                Atleast thats how its working in SA, longest wait so far for a test result has only been ~36hrs, your halfway recovered by waiting a week for a result.

                • kapone on 20/01/2022 - 16:42

                  @epoch: There are no bookings where I am, but as I said, only open for two hours, three days of the week. Not everyone in Australia has the same access to RATs and testing as other places in Australia, which is a failure of government.

          they do it in QLD too but every time someone I know try and get some, they're always out of stock. I'd also rather not fall in line starting 5am just to get a test which can take days for the result to come out and have to wait for the result to get out of quarantine.

        • Wilburre on 20/01/2022 - 20:17

          If they have any left.
          ACT has been having trouble getting enough for testing sites, and will only give them over if obviously symptomatic.

          I know people who tried 3 days in a row to get some from the testing sites and got turned away, just as they were turned away for PCR, then decided to just not get tested.

          Yeah you can get them from testing sites, but it's not as simple as you make it sound.

        You really need to buy these for the next few weeks if you are unlucky to contract it, such as if you’re in Victoria. Recent positive friends had to isolate for much longer than 7 days and couldn’t leave the house until they had negative rat tests. The issue was actually getting their hands on the tests! This will be less of an issue once more stock comes in.

              we see the rules relaxing in regards to what is a close contact (4 hours from previous 15 minutes) isolation times (from 14 days to 7) and testing as reality hits home on the impact to individuals and also the economy, and empty chicken shelves in supermarkets and as kids return to school … kids catch up for maccas with friends after school, don't wear masks while eating and talking, and then bring it home …… you can't test your kids every 2 days ….. and some families or students live in crowded conditions …….

          While quarantining beyond 7 days if you have symptoms is obviously the right thing to do, the DHHS says:

          Don’t get another test if you have already tested positive. You don’t need it. You are automatically released after 7 days.

        • TEER3X on 20/01/2022 - 18:30

        If the government requires it, they should be providing it.

        Scomo won't provide them because that would dig into the profit margins of the Pharmacist's Guild - the single most powerful union in the country (no, really).

        In our case we've got a mix of kids that catch everything, and elderly relatives that want to see those kids but need to be protected; so we've been going through them at a fair clip.

        Yes. But the government aren't providing them, and workplaces are also struggling to source them.

        I live in a fairly busy and populous regional area, but RATs haven't been available for purchase with an hours drive for more than three weeks, despite having several supermarkets (including a Woolies and a Coles) and pharmacies.

        Local PCR testing is limited to 2 hours a day, Wed-Fri (and they haven't had RATs to hand out either, unlike some metro testing locations).

        A RAT gives a result in 15mins, while a PCR test can take days for a result (during which you must isolate at home).

        It's BS that we're running around like crazy trying to source them when the government should just be providing them, but there is a real need for them.

Part of the process is , you get items delivered, surely you have friends/family/air-tasker/online shopping etc to get you through like the rest of us.If not , at least for SA Health you get a survey that asks if you need immediate assistance for food/medicine and if you need a call from someone… take that option.

      I agree, it feels like if everyone wasn't hoarding these there'd be enough to go around. the moment you get hoarding the system falls apart, but apparently the free market is the best way to distribute these…

      Well if you're anything like me, I tested myself three times yesterday to get a positive result on all. I wasted two just to be sure it was legit…

        interesting would you test 3 times if they’re were negative …..to. make sure you aren’t positive ……

        • Kozhutki on 20/01/2022 - 15:20

          Unlikely, would depend on my symptoms though.

      Same people fighting for these would've been climbing over each other to buy all the toilet paper too. Not the brightest bunch.

      Because you are feeling ill and not sure whether you have a cold, covid or hayfever for example.

      If you are exposed to someone with it and want to protect your family etc

    Goes to show eventually these tests will be worth nothing, just like how sanitisers at Lincraft where like 50cents

        I'm so glad I'm not the only one who immediately thinks of this

    I hate the whole per-order idea. It seems like a way they found to sell stock that wont get for a while.

      But no evidence supplied as yet on what variants it detects - https://www.tga.gov.au/post-market-review-antigen-and-rapid-…

      • subboy on 20/01/2022 - 15:57

        it detects for sars-cov-2 = all variants

        and specifically :Manufacturers of these kinds of tests have provided the TGA with study data to validate the performance of their test kits. Study data including in-silico analysis, recombinant protein studies, live virus studies, and inactivated virus studies against the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Delta Plus, Kappa, Epsilon, Eta, Iota, Zeta, Theta, Lambda, and Omicron variants"

    • Sydney2K on 20/01/2022 - 14:01

      Thanks- the Lincraft stock is sold out, so ordered a pack from Werko.

      I pre-ordered from Werko on the 4th of Jan and they claimed a dispatch date of 12 Jan. I haven't heard anything from them despite calling and emailing them numerous times. Do not recommend.
