    An appreciation tweet for all who helped #FreeTheRATs. Collectively we advocated for the distribution of πŸ†“ rapid tests to the public Without this movement, rapid tests may have continued to be sent only to private sectors despite having been procured with our public tax πŸ’²
    Get your copy of Today’s @TorontoStar and learn how the Ontario Government failed the test when it came to equitable rapid test distribution. #topoli #onpoli #onted

    Ontario: the RATs are freed! πŸ†“ Rapid Antigen Test kits will be extended until June 2023 at participating grocery and pharmacy locations ➑️ ontario.ca/rapid-test-loc…

    πŸ“£ Ontario: If you or anyone you know received a box of RATs through a grocery pick up and will not be using them please consider letting us know. We can connect you with a vulnerable individual in your community who would greatly benefit from this added layer of protection.

    We’re always looking to help you find πŸ†“ rapid antigen tests… well now we’ve found millions! In 2021 we were successful in lobbying the provinces and territories to #FreeTheRATs, now we must ask the same of the federal government @JustinTrudeau @markhollandlib

    We urge any province (e.g. Ontario) using a 5 day or a shortened isolation period to mandate negative test results at the end of isolation to truly curb the transmission of COVID-19 Using an arbitrary number of days without supporting results will only prolong this pandemic
    Should @CDCgov reconsider guidance on isolation & add a Neg test? Yes! Why? Bc relationship between symptom start & peak virus load has changed! Guidance must keep up accordingly. To explain: I made a (tough to read) chart based on real experience of Prof. Kato @neurotheory

    RAT Mythbusters: πŸ’₯ if you continue to have a +ve RAT you shouldn’t end isolation at day 5 or 10 (exit when -ve) πŸ’₯RATs don’t stay +ve for 90 d (that’s PCR) πŸ’₯Nasal swabbing 🚫🟰 combined (oral + nasal increases accuracy of RAT) πŸ’₯ RATs shouldn’t cost cheddar πŸ’° #FreeTheRATs!
