Helpful article from the New York Times:
Do Rapid Antigen Tests Still Work?

Yes, if you use them correctly and repeat tests after 48 hours.

Shows when when you are contagious.

Still accurate with newer variants.

If negative test and higher risk, get a PCR test.

New study:
With rapid antigen tests, it is best to test people with

symptomatic COVID infections twice 48 hours apart (93.4% sensitivity)

asymptomatic COVID three times at 48 hour intervals to get 79% sensitivity.

Attention

Anyone in the Melbourne Metro Area in need of a Rapid Antigen Test, please slide into my DMs! I have enough supply to do daily tests for 10 people for 2 years and my supply keeps growing (government provided tests).

I will happily give you as many tests as you need free of charge (just pay postage).

So does anyone know if it invalidates the rapid test if your swab picks up a GIANT BOOGER?

Still slightly positive T+~week after. Don't feel particularly well currently, bit shakey and cold.
