It seems that the at-home tests became less and less reliable for newer variants. I've had family and friends take tests repeatedly to finally get a positive one or never get a positive at home test, but then get a (PSCR?) test at the hospital that was positive.
No idea if tests were updated or variants changed again. There also was a variant were sampling from the throat was the way to go. It's a mess and clear information seems harder to come by than it should.
- ch4s3 3y agoThe one time I had covid about a year ago the tests all showed positive withing about 30 seconds, and continued to do so for about 9 days even though I never had more than some congestion and a light cough. YMMV I guess?
