      Fifteen people who tested negative on a rapid test *and* wore an N95 mask didn't transmit at an indoor event even though they tested positive on a PCR test. I don't see how you can infer that the rapid test clearance, rather than masks, is what guaranteed non-transmission.https://twitter.com/michaelmina_lab/status/1398050064761823232 …

      This is one of the most rationally written papers yet on #rapidtests to keep society running, shops open, people dancing and curb transmission It also demonstrates well the problems of using high sensitivity lab testing for public health screening. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00268-1/fulltext …

      I explicitly state that we cannot. It’s the 1st thing I say. Read the thread. I talk almost exclusively in it about how the positive molecular tests (where rapid tests are neg) are not providing appropriate public health information regarding transmission.

      You also attribute causality to the tests, not the masks. https://twitter.com/michaelmina_lab/status/1398051688813039618 …

          "Despite them entering and dancing the day away with positive results on a lab based molecular test but negative rapid Ag test - no transmission occurred! Why? Simple... the negative rapid tests were the CORRECT result for the ? “Am I safe to enter and not transmissible?” 5/"
