Rapid Covid tests miss 90% of asymptomatic cases
What I think really matters for most people is not to find out whether they have covid or not, but whether they are infectious or not. I'd really like to see research (any at all!) into how effective different test methods are at predicting infectiousness and am disappointed that this never seems to get addressed.<p>Because who cares if you're asymptomatic but your viral load is low and you're unlikely to infect others? If lack of viral load is the reason that the test is a false negative but that's also correlated with low likelihood that you can infect others, then this understanding is not useful. The test still did it's job for what people needed it for.<p>The full article does not seem to be publicly accessible, so I'm not sure if my comment is already covered.
