Oh, maybe there is no psi character in Russian. Devil pitchforks it is.
The psi represents a methylated Uridine molecule. That masks the strand from the immune system while the mnra is outside a cell. It helps prevent the mnra from producing its own immune response. The methyl group is lost during transcription.

unrelated but koods you seem to know a lot about biochem, do you think there is any legitimacy to claims that supplementing uridine can improve cognitive health?

Added this to the first post too, the CDC's symptom checker, updated to include new findings.

COVID ANTIGEN TEST: Negative 

I guess, in the past few weeks I had gotten 3 kinds of antibiortics to treat an infected leg wound, this caused my immune system to be out of whack so that a flu or similar snuck in and hit me extraordinarily hard.
No if's, no buts - No Covid.

Guys, now as we approach 100 million documented cases and infection rates are unprecedentedly high in especially the US, I decided to change my usual, more frivolous forum signature into one useful for people dealing with Covid and the consequences of not just the disease but also the drastic measures and whatever societal mayhem lies ahead.
If you think this is a good idea, I advise you to do the same, in your way, in your signature, in some or all forums, as forum specific signatures are a thing now.

Asante, did you post where you bought the test from? I missed that post, if they ship international, I might consider buying a couple to have around, did they have an expiry date?

They don't ship international, but no doubt these tests are available internationally.
Its the "Joysbio Covid-19 Antigen rapid test kit" but there are already many brands that have their own in mass production.
These tests cost €5 in bulk and I spotted local companies who would take this test for you for €65-135. Vultures!

I saw one website, that didnt even use https so I would be weary of entering a CC number wantted $39.99 for one, I saw a UK company asking €220 for a box 20, which would work out to about $17 CAD per test, still looking for a good north american supplier

The Pfizer vaccine only has 300microliters of fluid. it's a tiny amount
the moderna is 500microliters I believe. still not that much for an IM
I also felt nothing at all with either pfizer injection

To give you guys a state of the disorganization of the vaccine process:
I am volunteering 6 hours every week for the next 6 weeks or so to give the Pfizer vaccine at a major hub here.
When I showed up, the "charge nurse" (I use this term very loosely) had no definite idea how many people to expect to show up. More than half of those who did were second year nursing students getting clinical hours who had never done an IM injection or operated an EMR before.
The process for getting all the info into the EMR takes 5 minutes even if you know what you're doing already. They put in all these weird workarounds into the software to accommodate this process (for billing reasons? honestly idk) so the step by step process literally includes shit like "now enter 'z23' into the next box". The "charge nurse" basically just spent the whole time running back and forth troubleshooting EMR questions for students. Never seen anything like it. And this is at a MAJOR big money hospital.
To top it all off, my county has apparently given almost twice as many doses as the one behind it in my state (despite nearly equal pop.), which means as bad as shit is here it's gotta be totally bamboozled elsewhere
Anyway in 6 hours I vaccinated 54 people. But a lot of the time was wasted getting accounts and shit set up right. HIPAA makes life a pain in the ass sometimes. I bet I can do at least 70 next time.

Out of curiosity morrowasted, are you seeing symptomatic people trying to get vaccinated?

No
We have a series of disqualifying questions we ask before giving it, one of which is "Do you feel sick right now and or have XYZ symptoms?"

I see. Good stuff.
I can imagine people who know they are infected trying to get the vaccine as a "cure". People can be really stupid, this broken logic would make sense to someone I'm sure.

If you got it early in the infection it might work. Almost certainly getting the vaccine right after exposure would be beneficial, maybe even preventing symptomatic disease.
The rabies vaccine works nearly 100% of the time despite normally being given after being infected.
