In my anecdotal experience, rapid tests are only really good for telling you if what you're sick with is covid or not, and barely even that. They will not give you a predictive result, and will not identify an early stage illness, only when you're at or near the peak of symptoms.

False positives would have made this a no-go, even if they were safer. With Covid being endemic, its time to move on. If you must care, there are n95 masks.

- wanderingstan 3y agoMy anecdotal experience is the opposite: I was feeling pretty fine, just a little “off” which I attributed to a poor nights sleep. Took a rapid Covid test because I was about to meet my elderly parents. Surprise! It’s Covid. Real symptoms didn’t kick in for another 8 hours, peak symptoms for another 2 days.
