Its finally dawning on me that there is an endless supply of ppl - many in public health & medicine - who will not understand science of testing & how to interpret the sea of (poorly performed) studies (including by CDC)
This is a failure of messaging by Federal government

Confusion around rapid tests is becoming immensely harmful at local levels as every small town and city has their own decision makers trying to wade through a mix of confusing and often conflicting messages, with no guidance and no idea who or what to trust.

The frustrating thing is that this doesn’t need to be hard!
The science and biology of rapid Ag tests is extremely simple/straightforward if we allow their formal evaluation to be towards why we take the tests: answering “Am I infectious” or “Do I need to isolate still?”

We have a @US_FDA that STILL will not recognize that people use tests for public health purposes.
We ONLY have a regulatory path based on medicine and NOT for public health. Why won’t FDA recognize that tests are used for Public Health in this Public Health emergency ?
