For anyone wondering what a best-in-class rapid antigen test looks like. This is the @AbbottNews PanBio rapid antigen test.
If you lift up the plastic top (which is cheap) it is a simply paper strip (that white part with the red line)....

These are exceptionally cheap w/ very good accuracy to detect people when they are carrying infectious virus
Extremely easy to use
Simple design
I suggest a model where you reuse the plastic shell (like contact lenses) and just change the paper strip. Simple.

It is really unfortunate though that this particular test is NOT sold in the US. It is sold outside of the United States.
Nevertheless - this is to show that THESE TESTS EXIST.
The US Government should be making them in the 10's of millions daily.
Instead, Americans are dying

To use these... take self nasal swab - just front of nose (like you're picking it - not painful). Then put swab in a tube with a liquid. Then put 2 drops of the liquid in the circle on the test... liquid flows across (lateral flow) and a line forms if pos - like a pregnancy test.
