The tests pictured are rapid antigen tests (RAT), not polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Also, PCR is the gold standard for diagnosing covid. It has a near perfect analytic performance, a clinical sensitivity of ~80%, and a clinical specificity of ~99%. https://www.cap.org/member-resources/articles/how-good-are-covid-19-sars-cov-2-diagnostic-pcr-tests

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1836558871105802495
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
