      Also note. The third one is positive. The line may be the faint but it’s there. It means he has high enough viral load, signaling becoming infectious. Next morning is even higher—darker line . Use rapid tests *right before* meeting. That’s their purpose.https://twitter.com/BQuilty/status/1471392764004913152 …

      The non-sociopaths of the world who'd like to avoid infecting someone vulnerable—especially elderly people, immunocompromised, infants, etc.—by taking 60 seconds of their life to check, and have the financial means to do so. (Test should be cheaper). So yes, not everyone.

      Tests should be cheaper even free, for sure, it does limit their use. But I see that you think people who are not rich, white and liberals are all sociopaths? What a sad view of the world. Please get out of your bubble! People of all backgrounds care about people around them.

      Replying to @zeynep @TheEliKlein

      I’m not against rapid testing at all, especially if in contact with vulnerable people, but do you truly think near-constant testing is sustainable in any way going forward? What’s a concrete off ramp? At some point people just won’t (be it from feasibility or loss of interest).

      "What demographic does this tweet serve" question has nothing to do with that, though. I guess the sooner we do the things that help bring about the end of the pandemic with the least possible suffering, the sooner we can adjust policies.
