We have been using the antigen tests here in the UK for the better part of a year.
Short supply right now, quite hard to get at the chemists.

Your mother is a VERY wise lady.
Joe Biden said earlier today he wants everyone to test themselves twice a week, and will produce enough tests to make that happen.
Why in the hell would anyone test themselves if they're not feeling bad?
You start down that "let me see what I've got" road, and you can find all sorts of inert diseases and conditions that are of no immediate threat.
Joe Biden doesn't want to take a Cognitive test, even though he can blow up the world, due to his dementia.
But he wants all of to keep testing ourselves with (likely tainted swabs) so we can see if we have a Covid bug?
Phuck Joe Biden!

What if I test positive on the first, than a few days later test negative? Than next week test negative, than positive? How many times a week am I allowed to have COnVID?

Personally, I still view it the same way I've always seen it: If I'm not sick, then I don't need a test to tell me whether or not I'm sick.
Unsurprisingly, that also works just fine the other way: If I'm sick, then I don't need a test to tell me whether or not I'm sick.
The test is not to show whether you are "sick" or not.
It's to see if you have Covid and can therefore pass it on to others. Who might be vulnerable.
Has this not sunk in yet?
