greater ability you have to [end up with] a positive rapid antigen test."
Most people develop symptoms five to six days after being in contact with a person who has active COVID-19.before a RAT is able to detect the virus — SARS-CoV-2 — so waiting a couple of days before you test isn't a bad idea if you're isolating anyway. However, it's not entirely necessary to wait for symptoms to appear if you've had a known exposure, Dr Sheel suggests.betterShould I be doing a RAT test if people in my house are positive and I'm asymptomatic?

Wife had symptoms, two RAT tests - both negative, got PCR - tested positive…, took another RAT for science - tested negative again… If you think you have Covid, good chance you have - sure use a RAT but don’t rely on them…
Either the flu or a cold most likely, although I’ve been told the RATs are only accurate when they give you a positive result 🤷♂️
why test. your sick. we know what to do..
You have the flu that’s been around for over 100 years.
You are - RATs are barely 60% accurate on positives. Get a PCR and stay home.
It's a cold dont panic.. don't go blocking the hospitals up now.
We still going on about this bullshit
ouija board?
Get a PCR……
My husband was sick for 8 days with numerous RAT and a PCR on day 8 being negative .. day 10 positive RAT.
Just wait a day.
It’s not accurate either way
