Something extremely false is happening. It was tested for covid four times today. Two tests were negative, two were positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid BD antigen test.

This form of testing has the advantage of not requiring laboratory tests and giving a result in about fifteen minutes. But antigen tests are less accurate than so-called RT-PCR diagnostic tests: the former are identical to the virus’s proteins when the latter detect their genetic material.
Musk explains on his Twitter account that he felt the usual symptoms of a cold: mild chills, a cough and a mild fever. He plans to perform RT-PCR tests in another laboratory, the results of which should arrive “in about 24 hours.” When asked online if this could explain the spike in Covid-19 cases currently being seen in the United States, Musk simply replied, “If it happens to me, it must happen to others.”
