The math is simple: Frequency is MUCH more important than sensitivity to stop transmission. Pink is PCR level sensitivity, purple Antigen Once frequency is 1 test every 14 days, most benefit is lost. Think: How often do you get PCR tested? (Probably less than every 2 wks)
Covid is HIGHLY contagious for only 3-5 days, and usually 1-2 of those days are PREsymptomatic Therefore, routine screening [even before or without symptoms] is critical to breaking chains of transmission 1/
How is it possible to publish a paper comparing the sensitivity of RT-PCR and antigen tests without stating the Ct values? They make the classic mistake that @michaelmina_lab has been pointing out for months. #articleInformation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jpeds.com/article/S0022-…
