[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids both developed a bad cold this week so we were happy to have these tests on hand. [/quote] I hope you didn’t rely on a negative result on an at home rapid given how poorly those do detecting BA.2.[/quote] Ideally you would test when symptoms develop but again ~5 days after symptoms develop. Or get a PCR test. PP is right that for whatever reason the rapid tests aren’t picking up Omicron-based COVID until we’ll into the symptomatic/infectious period. It still might just be a cold but a negative test at first sign of sickness doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. I don’t know the science behind why it’s harder to detect than delta or the original but can tell you that it’s true. Swing through Kenmore or one of the other testing centers and PCR test. Take some precautions until results come in. [/quote]
