Info on myocarditis from a site doctor

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD.</p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=" ">November 13, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

For context, he took four rapid antigen tests from BD. Those tests are known to be incredibly imprecise and unreliable. No one with any knowledge about proper COVID testing protocols will use them. Unfortunately, many urgent care settings offer it and make a ton of money off it and it's great marketing to be able to offer "rapid test results". Sad reality, but true.

Good information. So that begs the question, of ALL the positive test results we're experiencing in the Country, what percentage used the rapid antigen tests from BD?
 
Great job summing up the situation for us back in September ferman. With the end of the year here and the US at ~335k deaths you were only off by 75k deaths. Excellent modelling and critical thinking skills you've got there!
Interesting how the article is unavailable now...

I don’t know the percentage, but think it is a small fraction because there are so many testing options at this point.
