COVID-19 update:
I've been testing daily using both a rapid antigen test (BinaxNow) and a more expensive Metrix test (which uses an electronic reader and claims sensitivity approaching that of a PCR test).
I started testing negative on the rapid antigen test on Monday. (Not even the faintest second line on the test strip). But still testing positive on the Metrix test, however. So it does seem to indeed be more sensitive.
(Fever and other prominent symptoms have been absent for 9 days now.)
