why is the messaging about covid still so fucking bad

- yes, pcr tests can still test positive for a longer time, because they also detect "dead" non-replicating virus
- selftests/rapid antigen tests however detect high levels of viral protein, and POSTIVE = CONTAGIOUS
- even a faint line is still a positive test. It's less viral load than a bright red/black line, but it's still over the threshold
