My employer dropped all covid protocols, thankfully. But in anticipation of mandatory testing they had a shitload of PCR test pacs. They were giving them away, but people didn't seem to want them.
But the funny part, to me, was the tests had an expiration date (some time in February) and somehow the expiration date got pushed out a couple few months to like April. So do these things deteriorate, or not? Does it even matter if they do?
PCR test packs? really? You mean the rapid antigen tests? You know, the ones that literally say "rapid antigen" test?
PCR tests are generally done in a clinic and take a few days to get the results back. We know why they're flawed and that they're not diagnostic.
The rapid antigen test binds to a few components of the virus, causing a line if it's there due to pH and chemical bonding. You can hack these tests by putting foreign matter of a certain pH on them. That's why things like coke test positive on the rapid antigen tests.

you're correct it is the rapid tests
They are giving them away by the case in clinics and reservations here
