Finding rapid tests shouldn’t be this hard and it shouldn’t be cost prohibitive. If you need a test, it’s yours. If you have funds to donate, please dm, I’d love to keep this going as long as possible ❤️
Need your booster? The kaiser capitol hill covid vax clinic is taking walk-ins today (10/18)! Both Moderna and Pfizer are being offered. No insurance or appointment needed.
Recent research and tests are confirming you should be throat swabbing for the most accurate results on rapid tests.

As always, if you or anyone you know in the Seattle area is in need of a COVID 19 Rapid Test, please reach out!
Swabbing correctly for #COVID19? Most are not. @IamKGB tests—
1) VERY POS—back of throat, cheeks, roof of mouth & both nasopharyngeal w swab held in place for 10s.
2) NEG—outside portion of nostrils
3) NEG—anterior nares/nasal septum
4) FAINT POS—throat & cheeks
5) Repeated #1
Direct CDC guidelines:“If individual housing options are not available, allow people who are living unsheltered or in encampments to remain where they are. Clearing encampments can cause people to disperse throughout the community and break connections with service providers.”1/2
CALL TO ACTION! 📣
The city is planning to sweep four different encampments during the heatwave this week, including a massive vehicle encampment on Tuesday with 50+ vehicles and 50-75 people living there. Tuesday is forecast to be over 90°.

CDC guidelines cont:“This increases the potential for infectious disease spread.
Connecting people experiencing homelessness to permanent stable housing should continue to be the primary goal.”
See @Stop_Sweeps_SEA call to action to protect community during this heat wave! 2/2

Still have about 25 boxes and securing more next week. Planning to hold on to next week’s donation for when the next spike happens (😭😭), but please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need a test for yourself or your MA group!
Things have really slowed down lately, but we still have just over 50 test in our possession. If your MA group could benefit from some tests, please don’t hesitate to reach out!! The LAST thing we want is for tests to sit around unused.

If you have health insurance or Medicaid, you automatically qualify for 8 free rapids (4 pairs) a month. Hopefully you can order directly through insurance soon, until then you purchase tests wherever, save receipts, and submit a claim for reimbursement!
