I am so frustrated right now. I am trying to find out whether the at-home covid rapid tests can detect the new BA.2 strain(s).
I'm finding lots of "it should work because of its design".
That's nice.
Has there been any lab testing of the rapid tests on this/these new strains? Or, are we going to just wander along on "should"?
New frequency comb breathalyzer detects COVID-19 with excellent accuracy
Exhaled breath analysis is an attractive alternative to RT-PCR detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection as it is non-invasive and can return real-time measurements

Do rapid tests still work for me?
Not always, that's what I can see
Sometimes false negatives
But still valuable assets
To help us plan, cautiously and free
