Don't these have lower viral load? So it's really a sensitivity issue, which isn't that surprising for a cheap rapid test.

- dathinab 3y agoyes, it's also a well known limitation which has been discussed a lot in the past _when they where introduced_. Basically the argument is: "if the test misses it, then in most situations the viral load is low enough to have a limited risk for other people" The only gotcha people tend to forget: The viral load can change over time, which means they are only useful for a few hours not a full day.
