    This is fascinating. See the linear relationship. Also she's run out of tests—maybe we could get a few more to her to keep this going. There's more sh could plot. She's in Atlanta, Georgia. @michaelmina_labhttps://twitter.com/methanoJen/status/1476276591219064836 …

    Day 10 of 3x-Pfizer-vaxxed #COVID19 breakthrough case. Still testing faintly +ve. I analyzed all nine of my rapid antigen tests w/ ImageJ & plotted the ratio of the area of sample to the area of control. Saw a linear relationship (R2=0.99) from day 2-10: pic.twitter.com/8vR6r5ygwz

        She wrongly correlates testing positive with assuming being contagious after 10 days Being infected,testing positive and being contagious are different things Tests detect N protein of the virus, not contagiousness Some1 can test positive 3 weeks, that is no way hes contagious

        Could one reporter anywhere ask Fauci about the guidelines for positive test/symptomatic? CDC states only “If you have no symptoms or your symptoms are resolving within 5 days, you can leave the house.” I’m starting to think it’s more than just a communication problem.

        Especially since he stated tonight no test, neither rapid antigen nor PCR, can determine transmissibility.

        I saw the same pattern. Started testing 2 days before since I know I was exposed, then on morning 3 it went from zero bright red, then slowly faded to nothing 11 days after
