    Either they are utterly clueless or this is intentional. This pcr test test they are using to test nba players is inaccurate and all the studies have shown this time and time again.

    What would you have them use other than a Genetic based probe?

    Rapid testing has been swift but not precise.

    If you do a pcr test right away anyway you can get results in like 4 hours. Only us normies have to wait a day lol

    What studies are you talking about? PCR tests are the more accurate tests. Rapid antigen tests are significantly less accurate.

    I'm pretty sure this is bait. The fact that he bashes them but doesn't provide his alternative in the OP is proof of that.

    Lol bro you didn’t link a single scientific journal. Their sources aren’t even scientific papers. Try the IDSA guidelines and better educate yourself on these topics before making such bold statements.

    https://www.idsociety.org/practice-guideline/covid-19-guideline-diagnostics/#toc-1-5

    that is guideline summary for all practitioners based on quality scientific journals and papers and expert opinion. If you read it past the headlines, which for you seems hard, you’ll see that NAAT is the recommended screening modality.

    this thread should also be locked since it’s not really Rox related.
