Covid lockdown was introduced, which means by now most of us are used to testing ourselves to see if we have been infected with the virus.Many people may now associate the phrase ‘positive result’ with a confirmed case of the infectious virus that has caused the pandemic.But, that was not always the case.This was clear when a woman messaged a friend with a picture of her pregnancy test - which gave a positive result.Having snapped a photo of the white stick portraying two red lines, the women wrote “positive” with a neutral face emoji.However, there was a bit of a modern day mix-up.Just like how lateral flow tests show two red lines for a positive result, the friend thought they tested for Covid - not for being pregnant.The confused friend replied: “Damn, I hope you feel better.”Along with a prayer emoji, they added: “Quarantine.”Stunned at the response, the pregnant woman slammed: “Are you stupid?”A screenshot of the text was posted to Facebook by user Amber Lee Clark which has now racked up thousands of likes and 33,000 shares.People were left in stitches at the confusion so tagged their mates with laughing emojis whilst they poked fun at the mix-up.One person chuckled: “I hope she takes all the necessary precautions that the CDC has lined out. Don’t need that s*** spreading”Another added: “Name your kid Covid.”Whilst a third user related: “Remember when I sent you my Covid results and you thought I was pregnant?”Someone else shared: “I laughed too hard at this.” Get all the biggest Lifestyle news straight to your inbox.

Facebook.Earlier this week Meta (formerly Facebook) quietly issued a warning saying that it could shut down the services if Europe doesn't let it perform "transatlantic data transfers".In an annual report to a US government agency, Meta said that the company will "probably" have to stop offering its "most significant products and services" if a new framework is not adopted.After German leaders responded to the Facebook warning by essentially telling Zuckerberg to bring it on, a French minister has weighed in with some tough love for the Meta billionaire.French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said that life would be 'very good' without Facebook and that the EU will stand up to tech companies: “Digital giants must understand that the European continent will resist and affirm its sovereignty.”This followed comments from Le Maire's German counterpart, Robert Habeck, who said “After I was hacked I have lived without Facebook and Twitter for four years and life has been fantastic."The report in question said that a new transatlantic data transfer framework for Europe to the United States must be adopted, and if it isn't, Meta "will likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe."A spokesperson for Meta said: “We have absolutely no desire and no plans to withdraw from Europe, but the simple reality is that Meta, and many other businesses, organisations and services, rely on data transfers between the EU and the US in order to operate global services."Like other companies, we have followed European rules and rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, and appropriate data safeguards, to operate a global service."They added: "Fundamentally, businesses need
