I don't give a $417 what their disclaimer says ... to me it looks like it defaults to a positive result?
Obviously. Did I say otherwise?
PCR tests are susceptible to bad lab practices, Phage
Careful interpretation of weak positive NAAT results is needed, as some of the assays have shown to produce false signals at high Ct values. When test results turn out to be invalid or questionable, the patient should be resampled and retested. If additional samples from the patient are not available, RNA should be re-extracted from the original samples and retested by highly experienced staff. Results can be confirmed by an alternative NAAT test or via virus sequencing if the viral load is sufficiently high. Laboratories are urged to seek reference laboratory confirmation of any unexpected results.
Nope. I just asked a question about the video.
All it proves is that the rapid antigen test doesn't work on fruit.
