Hey look it’s summer and people are getting a lot of covid so let’s recap: Rapid antigen tests (RATs) are *much* more likely to detect an infection once viral load gets high. That’s what they’re for.
If you take one a couple days after an exposure, it probably won’t go positive even if you have covid, unless you got it before the known exposure. But most people are now potentially exposed every day, so…what’s the plan?
