r/PlusLife

I have been having power/connectivity issues and want to get something entirely new that is tested and true.

I am in Canada, so need some kind of adapter or power source that can be used to make the factory-provided plug fit my outlet, or that can be used with USB

What have you been using that works? I have been trying to find power banks online but they never seem to list how many amps of power they provide, and I believe it has to be exactly 3 amps, right?

I've seen different threads about recent purchases from Altruan, so I thought I'd share my recent purchase here. Please note this isn't for a PlusLife purchase - I've only ever bought rapid covid tests from Altruan because buying in the US is so $$$.

Personally, I did not have any issues with purchasing or shipment/US customs/delivery (thank goodness). It took about a week and a half from what I placed my order to the package arriving at my home. Where I noticed the most change from past purchases was in the product expiration dates - which to be clear, the shelf life was noted on the Altruan product pages.

I bought a bunch of Hotgen Sars-Cov-2 antigen lay test CE0123 - these expire on 10/1/2026. Useful, but in past purchases these tests had a much longer shelf life. I also got the Fluorecare Sars-Cov-2, Influenza A + B & RSV Antigen Kombi Tests - and these had a much better expiration date of 1/3/2028. Hope this helps fellow covid conscious folks out there!

Hi all - I detected a positive covid result on pluslife for my family who lives in another household (we dont live together)- they are not covid conscious and dont mask or test normally. It was positive for 1 family member on Saturday before they were symptomatic, all other family members were negative - they had symptoms from Saturday night to Sunday. In the moment, i told them about the 2 negative rapid tests 48hrs apart to end isolation rule of thumb. BUT I FORGOT and didnt consider that they would test very early on - I forgot to tell them this rule only works if you've already been testing positive on rapidtest too!!!!!!

They tested negative on rapidtest on both Monday and Tuesday and told me today Wednesday after I followed up with them - I think there is no way in hell that the covid infection is over so fast

So now they think they're safe and probably out of isolation, when in fact it's much more likely the rapidtest hasn't even started detecting the Start of the infection.

I have messaged them my concerns, but I'm really devastated as I thought I'd helped prevent spread, but I gave them faulty information, didnt check in earlier, and now they think they're negative and clear when they're not really. I feel really guilty and also a bit annoyed at them for not thinking deeper about it being suspicious to be over an infection so fast, but also just want to put this info out there for anyone in the future

EDIT: Deleted my 'early positive' phrasing - it was a definite positive result on pluslife, I just meant early as in we caught it before symptoms started and before others in the household started testing positive on Pluslife
