If you get a positive rapid test you will need to have a PCR test to confirm that tells me the rate is high enough no to trust it on positives, if your negative you are good though and that is why it is still useful for for places that test a lot of people often.

I think there was a post that the team was using rapid tests.

I’d say that was accurate early on, but not so much anymore. Over time they have been able to “dial it in” pretty accurately with rapid antigen tests. Many being less than 3 false positives per 100 in clinical trials. I’ve been distributing these nationally for the better part of the last 12 months. Working on more global reach these days. Granted, there are some Chinese brands I wouldn’t trust, but for every one of those there’s a Korean, American, or European brand that produces a much more accurate and specific result.
