At the very best, even the PCR tests miss ~20% of infections, and the quick tests are worse. And that very best rate depends on timing being perfect, which it rarely is. Test accuracy quickly gets worse if the test is done too early or late.

I believe that I have had Covid at least once, maybe twice, and tested negative with a PCR test the first time, and negative with the quick test the second time. That was in spite of complete vaccination, but given my age, I would likely have been hit a lot harder had I not been vaccinated. Many of my vaccinated friends have been infected, almost entirely during the latter part of this mess when Omicron cranked into gear and preventions were tapering off, but none have been seriously ill in spite of them being more or less similar in age to me. As far as I am aware, none of them has had "long Covid" either, which can be nasty even for younger peeps.

Nuff said, but negative tests cannot eliminate the possibility that you had Covid.

I know I did a year ago. I was sick got tested was negative but they did and antibody test and I had them. Fresh ones. So they said. So forsure I had it once just never had a positive test to lose out on work or have to quarantine. and I test everytime I feel sick or been in close contact with someone thats tested positive

Behind that piece of tape. Looks like it's the line that goes to the furnace from the well pump

That's about 4 hours of dripping

If the line comes from the pump, does not instead go to a drain, it is not a condensate line. In which case, you may have a larger problem. Have other copper supply pipes in the house leaked like this? The other light colored spots on the line suggest to me that the copper is corroding from the inside, and the line needs to be replaced. If that is the case, a solder fix will be temporary because more leaks are coming.

Thanks olderfart for the rep attempt it's the thought that counts but I agree with what you said above and didn't think about that solder may cause more problems if it is rotting and thin

It was just a old joke I remember old timers saying something along the lines of "where did you hide the squad car dick Tracy" stoned and probably got it all wrong
