Reminder: RATs are not always very sensitive.
That means:
1) if the test is positive you are positive, unless you did something like drink a Fanta right before swabbing.
2) if the test is negative but you have symptoms you might be positive but the viral load might (still) be low or you've got something you haven't tested for. Either way: mask up, buttercup, and keep your germs to yourself.
@danyow That said: in that list the best RATs were only reliable for high viral loads... if someone's viral load was medium to low they were less reliable... IIRC the best RATs had a sensitivity of a bit over 50% across ALL viral loads. Here's the XLS of the sensitivity of vario
