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.

[Seattle Rapid Test Bloc @testblocSEA]

Recent research and tests are confirming you should be throat swabbing for the most accurate results on rapid tests.

2) NEG—outside portion of nostrils
3) NEG—anterior nares/nasal septum
4) FAINT POS—throat & cheeks
5) Repeated #1

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

[Seattle Rapid Test Bloc @testblocSEA]

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

[Stop The Sweeps Seattle @Stop_Sweeps_SEA]

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°.

[Seattle Rapid Test Bloc @testblocSEA]

@blowdart If you didn’t get a chance to order via the site and have a known exposure and/or are symptomatic, reach out for a free at-home rapid test! We’re trying to get some into the hands of those who need it. Access shouldn’t be this difficult!

[Seattle Rapid Test Bloc @testblocSEA]

@Jamie_Magee @blowdart Received mine this morning and it was two boxes of two tests each.

[Seattle Rapid Test Bloc @testblocSEA]

@SeaSouthChamber If anyone on the southside needs access to free rapid tests, send me a DM. We’re trying to make sure anyone who needs a test, has one. It shouldn’t be this hard!
