Original Note:
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
