So I went to a tent to get a quick covid test. The young lady said, it was positive. When I looked at it, I saw a disputable positive test result and asked her if she could do another test. She did and said that was positive, too. The test strip was hardly colored, not red like the control strip.
I went to another testing site to do a genetic test that I normally wouldn't do, but I did to avoid a two week quarantine and my salary freeze. I got the result today and it was negative.
This is the science of "cases" on which Covid policy is based.
Yep, these "tests" are very unstable especially the rapid ones. I heard the new "home tests" are even worse, noted by the directions in the box they come in.
My son didn't feel good last month and went to get tested. They gave him a rapid test that was negative so he went to work the next day. But they also gave him a PCR test (which I believe they now stopped using) and on his way home from work they said it was positive.
I think if you have symptoms then you most likely have something and should stay home anyway until you feel better.
You know, like the way we used to do things before 2020.
