Rapid
COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a disease caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2. There are two types of tests for this virus:
- A viral test tells you if you have a current infection. Viral tests can either be rapid tests or laboratory tests:
- Rapid tests can be done in minutes. They are often antigen tests, which look for specific proteins from the virus. Some rapid tests are self-tests which you can do at home.
- Laboratory tests can take days to complete and include PCR tests.
- An antibody (serology) test might tell you if you had a past infection.
If you need a COVID-19 test, you can:
- Buy a self-test online or at a store. Make sure that the test you buy has been authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- Check your state or local health department's website for information on testing in your area.
- Contact your health care provider.
- Order free self-tests from COVID.gov for your household, if you live in the U.S. The tests are from the U.S. government.
Even if your COVID-19 viral test is negative (the test did not detect the virus), you should still take steps to protect yourself and others.

ACID CARBOLIC (Phenol)
A powerful antiseptic and germicide, also an energetic and rapid poison; used internally as an anti-emetic and a gastric and in testinal antiseptic. Locally it acts as an anesthetic and cauterant. The liquified acid is applied in full strength to cauterize or thoroughly cleanse infected wounds, followed by strongalcohol to neu tralize its devitalizing effects. Carbolated oil (10 grs. to the ounce) or a carbolated ointment of similar strength, is one of the best dress ings for burns, scalds and i2

NITROGLYCERIN (Glonoin, Trinitrin)
Product of the action of nitric acid on GLYCERIN. The remedy reduces arterial pressure at the same time dilating remarkably the capillary blood vessels. It is thus a remedy for chills and the inter nal congestions causing these, for angina pectoris, for cardiac failure (cautiously used) for some forms of asthma and dysmenorrhea, and in combination with digitalis as a rapidly acting stimulant. Dose, 0.0003 to 0.006 Grm. (1-200 to 1-10 gr.).2
