        Tell me it’s not the rapid antigen tests. Those have a very poor false positive rate. :/

          That is incorrect the Abbot and Sofia antigen test have only a sensitivity of about 65%-75%, which means they have about a 25-35% false negative test, which is what we would want in order for this game to be played. The false positivety rate on the antigen test was a result of using the wrong tranport medium. Also all negative antigen test get automaticaly reflexed to PCR wich can be up to 92-95 sensitive depending on viral load.
