Just a reminder that the rapid test is about 80% effective in diagnosing symptomatic Covid cases. If you’re asymptomatic, it’s about 30% effective — less accurate than a coin toss.

If you’re concerned about a Covid exposure but you don’t have symptoms, get a PCR test, not a rapid test! I don’t know why clinics are offering rapid tests to everyone regardless of symptoms, but I don’t know why anyone is doing anything in 2020 tbh.
