“If a person with #COVID19 tests immediately with a rapid test when symptoms emerge, they receive a false negative as much as 92% of the time. Waiting two days after symptoms brings that rate down to 70%… Our symptoms are happening sooner, but it takes longer to reach enough virus in your body for it to be detectable.”
