That's frustrating about the negative PCR. If a person has flu-like symptoms and tests negative for Covid and also for the flu, I think it's best practice to assume that patient has Covid, especially if a person has acute loss of taste or smell. So, to answer your question, while I believe in the rapid test (and especially the PCR test), in today's climate, I would favor a symptom-based approach if the tests are negative when everything else is screaming Covid.
