Great vid. Small critiques 1) show the dropped insertion more slowly and 2) explain how to read the results.

The problem is with accuracy rate of rapid tests.

Of course, wash your hands before and after

Everyone giving conflicting information on where to put the swab.... some say in outer nostril.... others say it goes back in a way similar to the PCR tests.... this is for the same kit BTW. oh well haven't had to do it recently so I guess the end result is the same.

Stupid they do not show how to read the final results when there's two versions under "positive"
@tmarshmellowt 2 years ago

My test didn’t show positive for almost an hour after I performed this test off of these instructions. Just a word of advice to wait long and look hard. Sometimes the line is very faint.
