Marmited,
Where on BMJ piece does it say that antigen testing does not use the VIRUS to work??
You stated that antigen tests do not use the virus to get an indication.
That statement is wrong:
On avct test affimers stick to spike protein on the virus,
on Paraytec test, adapted aptamers (similar to affimers but not as specific) stick to the virus, causing it to glow,
PCR testing is only any good once antibodies are produced.
