Oriens you need to get your head around the fact that comparing lft and pcr is like comparing fast food and fine dining. Both have a place that n society but also cater to different needs.
LFT is for mass population testing and screaming. It’s quick and it’s cheap and is relatively precise. It’s mass market. It’s McDonald’s.
Pcr is high tech. It’s more expensive. It’s super accurate. It’s used to track variants, it’s used to actually build and design LFT tests, it’s used to ensure all people entering hospital are 100% covid free, it’s used when a mass testing rapid alternative was not alternative. But it will style be used for all LFT positives, all pillar 1 needs, all vaccine and variant monitoring and testing and all future diagnostics in a post covid world. It’s a long dinner expensive dinner with the taster menu on the chefs table at la maison.
Both have a place. Both will be used. But, post covid your LFT will be useless and pcr will still be used to design vaccines, monitor variants, test for cancer, all other infectious diseases etc.
