Hope Children’s Fund to host 5K alongside Kenyan participants Port Jefferson-based Hope Children’s Fund is holding it’s 17th Annual 5K Kenya/ USA BiContinental Walk/Run on Oct. 16, starting at 10 a.m.

This fundraising event is being held on the Port Jefferson end of the Port Jefferson Station/ Setauket Greenway Trail.

People in Kenya will be starting at the same time — only seven time zones away.

Founded by Port Jefferson resident Larry Hohler and his Kenyan former student Joe Kirima, HCF was incorporated in 2005, in response to the AIDS-pandemic then raging in Kenya.

Eighteen AIDS-affected preteens were taken off the streets in Meru when the orphanage first

opened in February 2005.

Most of the original residents are now freestanding young adults, and 87 youngsters are coming up behind them. The money generated by this fundraiser helps to pay for their food, clothing, shelter and school fees.

Until now, the Kenyans won 16 of the 17 times that the competition has been held.

The entree fee is $30, but larger donations are welcome. Participants can also compete virtually, at a time and place of one’s choosing, between Oct. 16 and Oct. 23.

For more information, call Larry Hohler at 631-473-1662, or check out their website hopechildrensfund.org.

Chants like “My body, my choice” echoed through big cities like Washington, D.C., and Manhattan Saturday as part of the Rally for Abortion Justice, and that same passion made it to what is known as Resistance Corner at the junction of Route 347 and Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station.

The national Rally for Abortion Justice movement, according to the Women’s March Network, comes after comes after the Supreme Court’s rejection of an emergency request to block the Texas Heartbeat Act. Coming into effect Sept. 1, the bill bans abortion at the point of the “first detectable heartbeat,” which could occur as early as six weeks into pregnancy — a point that many are just finding out they’re pregnant. At least 13 other states failed to attempt enacting similar bans after being blocked by courts.

“I believe in a women’s right to choose,” said protester Bryan Campbell, who was pushing a stroller occupied by his infant. “I think it’s ridiculous what’s going on in Texas and I’m here to support the women in my life: my partner, my friends, my daughter. This is for their future and for everyone’s future.”

Campbell was one of hundreds of men, women and children who gathered on the busy corner, holding signs in protest of such laws.

Some even took to dressing up as characters from the “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a best-selling novel and TV series that depicts a totalitarian society that treats women as property.

Donna Reggio was among those dressed in

red robes and white bonnet.

“It’s a dystopian fantasy that’s no longer a fantasy,” she said. “We’re going backward with women’s rights and we’re here to show that we don’t want to go there anymore.”

Before Roe v. Wade — a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 that protected a women’s right to have an abortion without excessive government restriction — only more affluent women had access to safe and legal abortions. However, it is estimated that between the 1950s and ’60s, the number of illegal abortions, either self-induced or done through often dangerous or even deadly procedures, ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million a year.

Rally organizer Shoshana Hershkowitz, of Long Island Social Justice Action Network and Suffolk Progressives, was on Resistance Corner Saturday to make sure her daughter did not grow up with fewer rights than she was able to enjoy throughout her lifetime.

“Our own congressman [Lee Zeldin (RNY1)] tried to overturn Roe in the past year,” she said. “We can’t just think of this as a somewhereelse situation. It was happening right here.”

That’s why the LISJAN and Suffolk Progressives joined with grassroot organizations like Long Island Progressive Coalition, Long Island Activists, New HOUR for Women & Children - LI, Show Up Long Island, NY02 Indivisible, Planned Parenthood, among others, to prevent impediments in a woman’s reproductive rights from happening anywhere — including here in New York.

“We just put out the word to the different Facebook groups and [other various groups] who are invested in keeping our rights and

Obituary

Remembering Paul Morris Hamilton Born Dec. 12, 1981, Paul Morris Hamilton, age 39, of Miller Place, New York, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021.

Beloved son of Laura L. Hamilton and Peter M. Hamilton. Loving brother of Damen (Janna) and Catherine O’Shea Hamilton (Chris Tighe), wonderful niece Lily Tighe and nephews Jack and George Tighe. Nephew of John A. Hamilton and his cousins, John Arthur and Patrick Hamilton.

Predeceased by adored grandmothers Charlotte C. Borsman and Janet N. Hamilton.

Special care provided by O.B. Davis Funeral Homes, Miller Place. Funeral Mass was Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2021, at Infant Jesus Chapel at St. Charles Hospital, Port Jefferson, New York.

Cremation was private. Donations may be made to Hope House Ministries, Port Jefferson, New York.

getting women in office,” said Kat Lahey of Long Island Rising, adding that several speakers including Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) were also in attendance. “You can see that there’s a high demand to keep women’s reproductive rights.”

But not all were in support of the movement.

Along with some disapproving remarks made by drivers who were passing by, one woman stood on the other side of the highway holding a sign, with photos of babies, that read “Please love me, I love you.”

The woman would not disclose her name, however she did share that she goes to her local Planned Parenthood every Saturday morning to pray. She said she was especially upset about New York State’s allowance of late-term abortions.

Yet the 2019 law, passed on the 46th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, only allows late-term abortions when the mother’s health is in danger.

When asked about the counterprotester, Hershkowitz said that she was more than welcome to cross the road and speak with herself and other organizers. “But I’m not changing my mind,” she said.

It was not the first time that groups like New HOUR and LISJAN gathered on the corner, as they also showed up for issues ranging from gun

safety to the Trump-era ban on refugees from majority-Muslim countries.

“Our community has come quite accustomed to gathering in this space and standing up for what we believe in,” Hershkowitz said. “So really, it’s like we almost have muscle memory because of having to gather here for so many years.”

Bellone presents 2022 recommended operating budget Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone released the 2022 Recommended Operating Budget that will allow the county to recover and reemerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic, and focuses on strategic investments in water quality infrastructure, public safety, small businesses and local downtowns to foster a strong economic recovery.

Additionally, the budget freezes General Fund property taxes and complies with the New York State 2% Property Tax Cap for the tenth year in a row.

Suffolk County will once again project an operating surplus in 2022 for the third year in a row. The total 2022 Recommended Budget is $3.88 billion.

“Even as we continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s recommended budget focuses on a strong recovery by making largescale investments in water quality infrastructure, public safety, main street businesses and our county workforce,” Bellone said. “The budget does all this while remaining structurally balanced, protecting taxpayers at all costs and securing the county’s financial future.”

Highlights of the County Executive’s Recommended Budget include:

Water Quality Infrastructure Investments

Bellone has made Suffolk County a recognized leader statewide in efforts to protect and improve water quality.

Scientists have identified the lack of wastewater treatment as a significant threat to Long Island’s environment and economy.

For decades, cesspools and septic systems have discharged excess nitrogen pollution into the environment, culminating in recent years in beach closures, toxic algae and fish kills.

To stop and reverse nitrogen pollution from cesspools and septic systems, Bellone launched the Reclaim Our Water initiative, which includes connection to sewers in some areas, and the installation of Innovative Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems where sewers are not a practical or cost-effective solution.

The Recommended Budget will invest $125

Town

million in a Water Quality Infrastructure Program, funded by the American Rescue Plan.

The Main Street Recovery Program

Small and Main Street businesses were hit especially hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of them had to alter operations, invest in new technology, supplies, and tools to remain open, and some had to shutter their doors entirely.

Businesses needed to be able to pivot in real-time to navigate these ongoing challenges.

Last year, to assist struggling businesses, Bellone launched the Suffolk County Business Recovery Unit, which has worked to address the concerns and questions of the business community during the pandemic.

The unit launched a number of initiatives, including but not limited to, a Small Business Grant Program, Business Recovery website with information and resources, Business Recovery call center, job board and in partnership with Stony Brook University College of Business, a technology assistance program, gift card program and Pandemic Shift workshops.

With challenges still lying ahead, this year’s Recommended Budget includes $35 million in funding for The Main Street Recovery Initiative, which will be funded by the American Rescue Plan.

The county’s Main Streets and downtowns are critical to the long-term economic success of this region. Suffolk’s economic development plan, Connect Long Island, is centered around this fact.

Downtowns are the places to develop the kind of housing diversity that the region needs and that will support small businesses.

They are also the places to build a mix of uses that will ultimately reduce car trips and thus reduce traffic congestion. Downtowns are also the places to create the kind of vibrancy that is necessary to attract young people, innovators and entrepreneurs to the region.

These recovery funds will be used to invest in downtowns, invest in infrastructure and projects and in cultural arts institutions.

The Main Street Recovery Fund will help provide direct assistance to Small Businesses

and rent relief to help businesses impacted

by COVID-19 and to reduce vacancies in the region’s downtowns.

Public Safety

This budget makes public safety a priority. Police Academy classes, which will begin in January and September of 2022, will graduate approximately 220 new Suffolk County police officers.

The Budget also includes funding for a Deputy Sheriff’s class of approximately 30 officers, two Correction Officer classes in June and September of 2022 that will graduate approximately 110 new officers, and 20 new Probation Officers.

The budget also provides funding to implement Police Reform in the Police District and additional funding for east end police departments and other local departments. Part of that funding will pay for the implementation of Body Worn Cameras.

County Workforce

This year’s budget provides funding to staff departments to ensure superior delivery of county services and adds funding for 120 new positions, including new mechanics, nurses and public safety dispatchers. The budget also continues to fund positions that previously remained vacant due to the pandemic such as 66 various titles in the Department of Public Works.

The budget also includes funding for positions in Human Resources and Procurement to better support the county government’s most valuable resource, its workforce, and to save taxpayer dollars by centralizing operations to better coordinate and streamline purchasing processes.

Opioid Settlement Fund

Suffolk County was the first county in New York State to bring litigation against drug makers in connection with the opioid crisis. The county has since reached several multi-million dollar settlement agreements with three major opioid distributors, Amerisource Bergen Drug Corporation, Cardinal Health Inc., and McKesson Corporation, and major retail pharmacies including Walmart, CVS and Walgreens.

The 2022 Operating Budget creates a separate fund for the restricted and non-restricted opioid

settlement funds for use in addressing the opioid epidemic. County Executive Bellone has convened an intra-agency committee with Presiding Officer Rob Calarco, who sponsored the initial legislation to commence litigation against the companies responsible for the Opioid epidemic.

The Committee is tasked with developing priorities related to the settlement agreements the county is receiving from Opioid distributors, manufacturers and pharmacies. The Committee has engaged with key stakeholders within the substance abuse community, including non-profit service providers with expert-level experience in harm reduction, prevention, treatment and recovery services.

Protecting Taxpayers

The 2022 budget, which freezes the County Tax for the 10th year in a row, also includes a number of additional financial measures designed to protect taxpayers in Suffolk County. The proposed budget takes an intensive approach to building reserves and contingency funds to safeguard future years’ finances. The County’s Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund is funded at the highest level in its history. Additional reserve funds including the Retirement Contribution Reserve Fund, the Debt Service Reserve Fund and Insurance Reserve Fund are also funded. This budget also creates several contingent funds to further stabilize the county’s long-term fiscal position.

The Budget includes contingencies for snow and ice removal and road repair costs, accrued liability from employee benefits, and most notably a contingent fund to pay every deferred employee salary ever implemented – including those instituted by prior administrations. This budget pays off previous debt from deferrals and pension amortization and from the sale/ leaseback of the H Lee Dennison Building.

These fiscally responsible actions will help deliver lower interest rates and eliminate the need for short term borrowings, both of which will ultimately save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.

Town of Brookhaven releases 2022 tentative budget

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Residents within the Town of Brookhaven could see a 1.89% tax hike for 2022 if the newly released potential budget gets adopted in November, staying within the state’s 2% property tax cap.

According to the tentative operating budget, all major tax districts are structurally balanced, and no fund balance is utilized to balance the

budget for the six major tax districts for the fourth year in a row. The total tax levy increase for all tax districts is 1.89%, and the six major tax districts levy increase is 1.85% Proposed by town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) earlier this week, the $316.8 million budget would restore a total of 36 jobs (4.4%) that were cut last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The town’s 2021 adopted operating budget planned for a continuing pandemic environment and I am happy to report that we have performed

as expected financially, with revenues on target in most departments and expenditures expected to meet budget despite the sharp rise in prices for many commodities,” Romaine wrote. “I expect no erosion of fund balance in all major tax districts at the end of 2021, other than the use of surplus in one fund to address hazardous trees throughout the town.”

Romaine noted that while certain facilities and programs are still not fully open due to the pandemic, he expects everything to be as it was

before coronavirus early next year.

“My 2022 tentative budget assumes a return to normal operations beginning in January 2022 with all government services available both in person and virtually,” he said.

The tentative budget also highlights a growth in the landfill post-closure reserve by $1.2 million to an anticipated $21.2 million, and stabilization of snow removal costs.

The board will hold a budget public hearing on Nov. 4 at 5 p.m. at Town Hall.

Wildcats take on the Panthers

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Miller Place Panthers traveled to Wildcat country to take on Shoreham-Wading River in a non-league matchup Oct. 4 looking to sweep the Wildcats in three.

Miller Place won the first two sets 25-17 and 25-21 hoping for an early night, but the Wildcats had other ideas, stealing game three 25-22 forcing a game four.

Shoreham-Wading River took the fourth set 25-18 to even the score for a game deciding

fiftth set. The Panthers struggled to stay ahead but Shoreham-Wading River slammed the door winning the tie breaker 25-22.

Kelsey Hughes the junior led the way for the Wildcats with 8 kills, teammates Paige Alessi and Morgan Truesdell had 5 kills apiece followed by Ella Marcario who killed 4.

The win lifts the Wildcats to 4-6 overall and the loss drops the Panthers to 4-7. The Wildcats retook the court Oct. 6 at home against Southampton at 4:30p.m, and the Panthers host East Hampton Oct. 8 with a 6:30 start.

Hi, I am Ryan Southworth, owner of Worth Painting.

I’ve lived on the North Shore of Long Island my entire life, originally in Port Jefferson Station and now in Miller Place. My children and my beautiful wife, Erin, and I love this area and are proud to be a part of the community.

When I started Worth Painting over 36 years ago (at a very young age!) I knew I had found a career doing something I was both good at and felt good about doing! There is nothing more satisfying than when a job is complete, seeing how happy the homeowners are… it makes all the hard work so worthwhile! I love seeing something go from plain to beautiful through the work of my own hands! I take pride in each project and treat it with the care I would give my own home.

Worth Painting has grown from only painting to sheet rock repair, taping and spackling, carpentry, faux

Public health has become politicized

Buy a flashlight and stay safe at night With the ending of daylight saving time around the corner and the fall season officially here, it’s beginning to get dark earlier.

While cool autumn nights are a nice break from the hot and wet summer we’ve just had, what comes with the pleasant weather is also nighttime appearing closer to 6 p.m.

The worst part about the darkness creeping up is that many people still act as though the sun is still out during the late evening. It’s not, and we all need to be careful.

When the sun is shining, drivers are able to see pedestrians walking, biking, skating — but not so much anymore with the season change. Dog walkers are normally good about bringing a flashlight, and cyclists almost always have reflectors on their bikes — but a few do not, and they can get seriously hurt if both parties are not paying attention.

But it isn’t just the people outside getting their exercise and enjoying the fresh air who are at fault.

Drivers need to slow down.

The combination of darkness plus speeding can cause a catastrophe. Both parties would be at fault.

And then there are the deer and the other woodland critters that live in our backyards. Unfortunately, they don’t own a flashlight, so it’s our responsibility as good humans to keep an eye out for the animals who dart into the street.

If we are driving slowly and cautiously, there’s a good chance we can avoid them and let them be on their merry way. If we don’t, not only could we kill the poor animal, but they can cause serious damage to the car and to us.

While we appreciate the lights we have on our local streets, it’s not enough. Please, don’t wear all-dark colors while out during an evening stroll. Do bring a flashlight or indicator that you are there. Be aware of your surroundings — if you want to listen to music on your earphones, keep it down so you can hear if a car is heading your way. Remember to walk against the traffic. If you’re a cyclist, go in the same direction as the vehicles.

And drivers, as we said, be mindful of our neighbors taking advantage of our beautiful North Shore. Slow down and enjoy the ride, too.

The Sept. 30 editions of TBR newspapers featured a story on Republican elected officials, led by Congressman Lee Zeldin [R-NY1], opposing the vaccine mandate for health care workers. This was a display of brinksmanship that I’ve come to expect from the Republican Party. Their reaction has created a dynamic where public health has become a political weapon.

It should be noted that the William Floyd school district, which Zeldin and state Sen. Alexis Weik [R-Sayville] represent, has both the lowest vaccination rate in Suffolk County, and the highest number of cases for school-aged children. Instead of using their platforms to encourage public health measures, Zeldin and Weik have chosen to crusade against increasing vaccination rates and mandating masks in school. The results of their lack of moral leadership are clear.

The community they represent, where Zeldin himself is from, is suffering for it.

State Sen. Mario Mattera [R-St. James] attempted to frame this as a “union” issue. As a union leader myself, I’d like to respond that many unions support this public health initiative.

Mattera also incorrectly states that COVID isn’t “a state of emergency.” I must disagree, and so do many health care workers who have treated the sick. The over-700,000 dead from an infectious disease is absolutely a state of emergency.

Mattera represents the area that includes Stony Brook University Hospital, a place that has led the charge in administering COVID tests and vaccinations. Why has Mattera not used his political capital to highlight the lifesaving work of our health professionals, and encouraged his constituents to get vaccinated, instead of grandstanding? The answer is clear.

He cares more about his next election and toeing the party line than he does uplifting public health.

Even more egregious is Zeldin, who recently made headlines regarding his leukemia diagnosis. He has rallied

against lifesaving measures, while getting lifesaving treatment. That treatment is from the excellent government health care he receives, paid for by our tax dollars. It is lifesaving treatment he has voted time and again to deny to others, even as he benefits from government health care. He is a living, walking, breathing embodiment of privilege and hypocrisy.

Each of these elected officials has failed to make the case for public health, for us as a society caring for one another.

Masking and vaccines are the best way to get out of this pandemic, and they have not stood up and used their platforms to encourage the people they represent to do their part. It is a failure of leadership and of morals on their part. They deserve to lose their jobs in the November 2022 elections for their failure to help avoid preventable illnesses and deaths in their respective communities.

Zeldin’s freedom hypocrisy

Once again U. S. Rep Lee Zeldin [RNY1] has shown how unqualified he is to lead New York state and bring people together by his tirade against a vaccine mandate on hospital and nursing home workers. The hypocrisy of this coming from somebody who a year ago was blaming former Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D] for the needless spread of COVID-19 in nursing homes is mind-boggling. But what is particularly absurd is his statement that this mandate “violate[s] personal freedom.”

We hear “freedom” constantly being invoked as a justification to flout scientifically based vaccination or mask requirements. But is what Zeldin and so many others call freedom really freedom?

Isn’t it really license instead? Isn’t it really carte blanche to do whatever we want, regardless of the consequences?

In fact, vaccination mandates have been around for a long time. For decades parents of public school children have been required to have them vaccinated against polio, measles and other highly contagious diseases. Does Zeldin not understand the concept of “contagious”?

A few years back, there was resistance in some quarters to vaccination against measles. The result was an outbreak of this dangerous disease centering on Disneyland in California and spreading to seven other states as well as Canada and Mexico. In a few third world countries there is resistance to polio vaccination.

That’s the reason polio, unlike smallpox, has yet to be eradicated worldwide.

If an individual refuses to be vaccinated against COVID-19, for whatever reason, that’s their choice. But that individual is not entitled to work in a hospital or nursing home and put patients and other staff at heightened risk by their behavior. If a surgeon refused to wear an N95 mask while performing surgery because he or she was convinced that it led to unsafe levels of carbon dioxide, would you want that surgeon performing surgery on you? I sure wouldn’t.

Besides, if Zeldin was really sincerely concerned about the workload and stress on health care workers, he would be doing everything possible to keep patients out of the ICU by supporting measures designed to reduce the spread of the virus. Instead, he’s doing precisely the opposite.

Vaccination mandates work because they force a reckoning with the consequences of personal choices. Remaining unvaccinated has consequences not only for oneself, but for everybody in one’s community.

This is particularly true of health care workers. The so-called “freedom” Zeldin and others rant about is the really the license to put others at needless risk. If a health care worker is intent on remaining unvaccinated, they need to deal with the consequences of that decision, namely that they are recklessly endangering others in a hospital or nursing home, a setting where — even without COVID-19 — the spread of viral or bacterial infections is all too common.

Let’s stop making freedom just another political buzzword. Those who invoke freedom to justify ignoring public health and remaining unvaccinated are debasing the very concept of freedom itself. There is no freedom without responsibility.

Opinion An unusual roadkill brings relief to an anxious dog

T

his time of year, my dog walks with relief and trepidation.

The relief comes from temperatures that have cooled off enough that his heavy fur doesn’t exacerbate the humidity and discomfort from stifling heat.

The trepidation arises out of the emergence of ominous additions to the neighborhood that change the world he knows.

The spiderwebs along fences and hanging on bushes and D. None trees don’t bother him, but the ghosts planted of the above in the ground, the

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF green glow-in-the-dark skeletons and the hanging vampires terrify him, as he prefers to scamper toward the street and passing cars rather than walk near an inexplicable figure swaying in the wind, hovering over him

like some supernatural predator.

And so it was, recently, that we took an early October walk through our neighborhood.

While these figures create anxiety for him, I was mulling the numerous global threats to the future for which we Americans and we humans are grappling. Global warming, debt limits, infrastructure bills, gun violence, the pandemic, partisanship, educational deficiencies, a destructive oil spill in California and everything else ricocheted around my head as I thought of the many looming crises.

A sight on the horizon snapped me out of my anxiety labyrinth. There, around the corner, appeared to be roadkill.

In the distance, I couldn’t recognize it, but I was sure that, once we got closer, my dog would pull desperately to inspect the flesh and innards of a former living creature.

Generally, when I try to pull away from decaying matter on the road, my dog seems eager to get as close as he can, like a forensic photographer or a police inspector from Law

& Order, trying to figure out who might be at fault for the end of a life, whether the driver tried to maneuver away from the animal based on any skid marks nearby, or, perhaps, whether the animal contributed to its own untimely end.

I try to distract him, whistling, calling his name, tugging ever so slightly on his leash to redirect him away from these sites, hoping to keep far enough away that the flies feasting on rotting animal flesh don’t land on us.

Usually, such maneuvers have the same effect as making suggestions to my kids about what to do, like studying the bassoon because every band needs a bassoon player and many schools are lucky to have one or two such double-reeded wonders: they cause an equal and opposite reaction.

I’m sure Newton’s third law wasn’t referring to parenting, but it seems that when we say “here” they want to go “there,” and when we say “there,” they want to go “here.” My dog seems to have studied the same playbook in response to any such guidance or direction.

As we walked, I pulled left, trying to figure out what was on the road, which seemed broken into four parts. This could be a particularly unappealing mess, I thought, trying not to make a subconscious suggestion through the leash that he head straight for it.

I held my breath as a slight wind picked up from the other side of the detritus, hoping I wouldn’t smell something awful and that, somehow, neither would my dog.

As we got closer, I used my peripheral vision. That’s when I noticed something unusual. Amid the odd red and brown colors was a mixture of an orange and blue mess.

What kind of animal’s innards are orange and blue? Was this a Halloween roadkill?

I deciphered letters on the ground. That was definitely not blood. It was a Burger King wrapper, with obliterated fries, a flattened Whopper and a crushed cup.

Perhaps too focused on the Halloween decorations, the dog wasn’t at all interested or enticed by the fast food roadkill.

At home rapid tests can help defeat COVID-19

A

good idea during this later stage of the pandemic is to have an at-home rapid COVID test, which indicates a result in 15 minutes. Sometimes you just don’t know whether it’s a simple cold that’s arrived and is making your throat sore, or if the situation is more dire and you need to seek help. Or perhaps you find that you have been exposed to someone who has now tested positive, and you want to check yourself accordingly.

Or you are about to visit grandma and you want to be sure you are not carrying the Between pathogen to her. you and me Besides the personal

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF value, the tests can be an important public health tool, although for the moment demand is high and they are hard to

find. I was able to locate two tests at a local drug store by calling around. They can be purchased at pharmacies for anywhere from $10 to $40 a test. The following are available without a prescription, according to The New York Times article, “At-Home COVID Tests: Valuable if Used Right,” in the issue of Oct. 5, and written

by Emily Anthes: Abbott BinaxNOW, the Ellume COVID-19 Home Test (although there was some issue with this one yesterday), and the Quidel QuickVue At-Home COVID-19 Test. The tests “detect small viral proteins, called antigens,” and they “require rubbing a shallow nasal swab inside your nostrils, and then exposing the swab to a few drops of chemicals,” as described by the article.

OraSure also makes them, among many other companies rushing their products to market.

While the manufacturers’ tests are fairly simple, their directions have to be followed carefully in order to provide a correct answer.

And while their results are correct 85% of the time, the tests can give a false negative if taken too soon after exposure. Further, the tests are more sensitive to people with symptoms,

especially during the first week, and when people are most infectious and can be actively transmitting the virus, according to Anthes.

The successful detection rate goes up to 98 % when the tests are used repeatedly, say every three days for screening. But again, those with symptoms may test immediately, while those who have been exposed to the virus should wait 3-5 days to let the antigens accumulate in the nose, if they are there, before testing. In the event of a positive result, people should take the usual precautions: isolation, monitoring symptoms and calling for medical help if necessary. They should also get a second test to confirm the result.

Rapid COVID-19 tests are for sale in grocery stores for one euro (a bit more than a dollar) in Germany, and in Britain a pack of seven are free. Policymakers around the world realized that rapid tests were a valuable public health aide. We here in the United States must make them available and more cheaply so that we can know who is infected, who is a carrier and where the outbreaks are. President

Joe Biden (D) has recognized this need and is working to make the tests accessible and more affordable. He needs to make the rapid tests official public health tools rather than medical devices. That would only take an executive order. And it would allow global manufacturers of COVID-19 tests to enter our market and immediately increase our supply.

According to a piece on the Opinion page of The New York Times in the Oct. 2 issue, written by experts Michael Mina and Steven Phillips, “Past economic analyses predicted that a major government-funded rapid testing program that reached every American could add as much as $50 billion to the gross domestic product and save tens of thousands of lives or more,” There is, happily, bipartisan support for making all this happen. Vaccination plus rapid testing would mean no more unnecessary isolations, no more missed holidays with families, no more randomly closed schools or businesses. We would, in effect, be able to live with the bug.
