I TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID, SO I'LL BE HOME FOR TEN DAYS.

THAT SOUNDS DEEPLY SUSPICIOUS BECAUSE IT'S THE SEVENTH TIME THIS YEAR YOU GOT COVID.

AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "False Positives"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bald man with glasses, sitting in a purple armchair, holding a cell phone. He is accompanied by a woman, who is also holding a cell phone. The conversation between them is as follows:

  • Dilbert: "I tested positive for COVID, so I'll be home for ten days."
  • Woman: "That sounds deeply suspicious because it's the seventh time this year you got COVID."
  • Dilbert: "This is no time to start doubting science."

The comic strip humorously highlights the challenges of dealing with repeated false positives in COVID-19 testing, poking fun at the idea that science should be taken at face value without question.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
