PCR TESTS VS. ANTIGEN TESTSWhy antigen test may really be more accurate than the PCR test where it matters. Michael Mina explains:
"To save society from this virus, we need to focus on daily fast #COVID19 tests. These are more critical now than even vaccines Forget the headlines! These are not less accurate. They are perhaps MORE accurate to tell when transmitting Ill explain
The “high sensitivity” PCR tests are diagnostic. They look for any remnants of the virus - great for diagnostics But the MAJORITY of time someone is PCR positive, those remnants do not indicate transmissible virus. They indicate remnants of a recently cleared infection"
Sona's lateral flow antigen test shines through when it comes to detecting covid 19 in people whether asymptomatic or symptomatic early on when people are infectious. That is exactly what the world needs to stop the spread of covid 19!
By stopping infectuous people from spreading the virus to other unsuspecting people.
