@moss awesome, good luck!

a word of warning that if you (or anyone else) happen to be located in the united snakes of amerikkka, Pluslife tests are being seized by customs because the manufacturer didn't hit up RFK Jr for FDA approval – so I've heard they're difficult to acquire.

i don't yet have a recommended alternative (i believe the Cepheid machines cost like tens of thousands) but would love to hear of one!

@moss yeah the pricing only works out vs other NAAT systems, or LFTs, super long-term, which is a real shame definitely agree it's wonderful that some groups are out there lending these out, more of that would be awesome

our family NAAT machine is a Pluslife Minidock – discount codes for machine and tests available from https://virus.sucks – and the PCR machine at the party was a Cepheid GeneXpert

complete COVID-safety #joy this winterval: went to a gathering where all 9 other people kindly agreed to take a NAAT on arrival… then a ~50-person NYE party where everyone got an on-site PCR test for COVID, flu, and RSV 🤩
