For all his campaign promises, Biden has failed to set up a multilevel systemic public health response to COVID.
One important note is that at-home antigen tests will give VERY poor results if you are sloppy or misuse them.
Then you get a negative result on the 2nd Binax test. Now you schedule an appointment to get a PCR test.If you’re non-symptomatic and get a [Binax+ Binax- PCR-] set of results … a positive and two negatives in any order.And if you’re FULLY symptomatic and get a [Binax+ Binax- PCR-] set of results, it is 20-times MORE likely that you’re infected than not infected … 2000% more likely!
And when faced with multiple conflicting test results, most medical people will incorrectly select the LAST result as the “correct one”. The U.S. approach sticks the American people with the job of administering and then interpreting the conflicting results of multiple tests. The false positives might be low in part because nearly 100 percent specificity aligns with peak viral load. But, as Harrison describes, even should the test be administered correctly, the false negatives are legion and the results of one test do not necessarily change the implications of previous ones.
