[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally know multiple people who have had false positives. (e.g. multiple follow up PCR tests came back negative). The rapid tests were not designed to be used for asymptomatic screening. I would not consent to this.[/quote] They follow up with a PCR for a positive. Wish it were PCRs but that’s $$$$$. Better than no testing. [/quote] right- but if you are the one who has a false positive test- it has huge impacts. It throws the family into quarantine, and that is a big deal for a lot of people- and it is at least 5 days before you get sprung- two pcr's 3 days apart and approx 24-48 hours from the results to come back.[/quote] But false positives are *extremely* rare. Perhaps your “friends” were on tail end of an infection and no longer had detectable levels for the PCR. [/quote]
