“A new study has analysed 26 RATs from Australia and Canada, finding only six could effectively detect the lowest concentrations of COVID-19… Researchers from James Cook University (JCU) say they were left ‘shocked’ after an analysis of 26 RATs from Australia and Canada found just six were effective at detecting the lowest concentration of COVID-19. One Canadian test failed to detect the COVID-19 protein entirely at any level of concentration… the six best performing RATs included the Canadian-approved BTNX Cassette, Flowflex, Medsup,... Fanttest, Innoscreen, and Juschek… BTNX, PCL, Medriva, Medomics, PanBio (Australia), PanBio (Canada), SDBiosensor, StandardQ, and Touchbio [are] the least responsive tests.”

$50! I know that's a lot of money but that's what I've been trying to come up with to make it to my next disability payment.

Please! $5 from 10 people is all I need

My notes in are slowly growing while preparing for the exam using the preparation course.

While I assume that the little quizzes don't represent the questions in the exam, they give me somewhat of an indication where I'm at.

Pretty much all of them were easy, but once they're gonna ask me for statistic numbers, I might be screwed.

Currently studying for the #cpacc exam and I found the #legal part surprisingly interesting. This topic was also relevant in a workshop I gave, so here's a couple of law suits that are #accessibility related:

I'm happy to expand this list if you know other interesting cases. 🤗

Hey, y'all! Need to get some food in the house, asap. I'm out. I need at least $100, to start, of this goal to make delivery worth it(I don't drive). Which turns out to be more like $80 in food after fees.

At $70 now!

Every dollar and share matters and is appreciated. @disability @blackmastodon @blackfedi @poetry please help amplify? #disability #foodinsecurity #blackwomen
