False negatives.
Useless for travel via plane.
SMH.
Combining that with Dr. Sanjay Gupta's interview with Joe Rogan where they basically both agreed that the home antigen tests test whether you're contagious and the PCR test tests whether you actually have it.
Basically, BinaxNows don't appear to give false positives at the sake of an additional small percentage of false negatives (again contagiousness wise). That's why they have always come in 2 packs. If you read the actual directions, they say to take both tests a couple days apart. In fact, I tested negative, woke up the next morning feeling more like crap and then tested positive. A PCR test confirmed the positive result.
And for those "annoyed" they don't work for most official uses like air travel or concerts, it makes me laugh. If those are allowed, what would be next? Home breathalyzers and drug tests being allowed to confirm people are following their probation.
Edit: And don't get me started on the number of people I know / have seen that are 100% adamant they don't have it so they half-ass the test. I scratch the hell out of the inside of the nose to make sure any/all Covid material is grabbed.
I got a faint positive, PCR confirmed it
