Totally anecdotal other than an EMA Director confirmed it...
Someone I know had a family member test positive with the rapid test. Whole family had to get test. When the original family member was tested for confirmation with the "long" test, they came back negative... Whole family tested negative...
EMA Director said about 40% of the rapid tests in his county were coming back as false positives... Now, how those false positives are tracked and reported can inflate the active cases as well...

The fact he can give a rough percentage with any confidence means its tracked - and, to me, invalidates the whole enterprise
40% inaccuracy essentially means not really accurate at all when it comes to public policy

Who is making the whole family get tested?
