[quote=Anonymous]All home rapid-antigen tests can give false negatives--the brands the schools distribute are the same ones you can buy at the store. And folks with covid can sometimes take *days* to finally ring up positive on an antigen. Several members of my extended family had that experience with separate ( = not infected at the same time and not living together) cases of covid during winter omicron. Three or four days of symptoms before finally turning positive--which of course means that if you suspect it's covid, you have to treat it as covid until you really know. Either test repeatedly with the rapids or get a PCR (you can pick one up at a county location for free, have DC take the test in the car, and leave it in the dropbox if you don't want to visit a provider site).[/quote]
