Did you actually read that article?

It was found to be only 79 per cent accurate at rooting out positive cases on average when the test was given by lab scientists.

This dropped to 73 per cent accurate when used by doctors and nurses, and barely 60 per cent accurate when people tested themselves.

Former minister Steve Baker said that the false positives generated by tens of millions of additional tests could be enough to knock the Government's roadmap off course.

Mr Baker, deputy chairman of the 70-strong Covid Recovery Group of MPs, said: 'It is now obvious that in an environment of low prevalence, mass asymptomatic testing makes false positives a real issue.'


And no mention of QMC...

More people need to see your post. The whole reason Innova partnered with QMC was to improve the accuracy of rapid antigen tests using quantum dots. Previous gen tests are going to have lower rates of accuracy because they didn't yet have the tech of QDs.

Michael Mina - Harvard epidemiologist - has been advising us for months now that the only way out of this pandemic is rapid, inexpensive testing.

Interesting quote:
“Congress is contemplating a sizable 46-billion-dollar investment in testing. And the Biden administration has identified at home rapid testing as a priority.”

Not everyone is going to get vaccinated. And variants will continue to swirl. Rapid antigen testing will allow many to return to school and work safely. Quantum dot technology makes rapid testing incredibly accurate. Adding QD tech to tests for Covid and other infectious diseases is a no brainer. They're much cheaper and more scalable than traditional PCR tests. I think this is just the beginning.
