Over the past two years, you've likely taken a Covid rapid antigen test. A unique, biochemical reaction involving saline, tiny particles of gold, and paper with antibodies, is helping to give us quick and relatively accurate results. Dr. Kate Biberdorf, a chemist and author, explains the chemical process of the at-home tests (while taking one) to explain exactly how it works.

Love how she's hyper aware of gender and race. She wouldn't say income, which would be more pertinent to access of these tests. Nor did she say age, which could be construde with ones ability to implement the test. No she chose gender and race.
Should test herself for subversion.

This is not a very good explanation. Too much handwaving and cutesieness (e. g. -you can't make a gold necklace-. I think that reasonably intelligent people could understand a more detailed explanation. Thank you to viewer tim ng (below) for providing additional info.

There is nothing happier in this life if you're living healthy without any disease, I can say now I will be leaving happier because my only problem with Hsv 2 had been solved permanently I'm so grateful to; #DrOseghaleSundayHerbalHome.

Great explanation, thanks. Do you think we can find a way to replace plastic cases for these auto-test with some more nature-friendly material? We are talking billions of tests here. huge waste, a lot of petrol.

The nose swab shown is at the nose picking level. To get deep in the nose, one should hold the swab almost horizontal, and get at least 2 inches in. It's also better to swab the throat first and then the nose.
reply

Omg. Her swab technique are not correct. More over you can swab your throat and than your nose. It is kinda normal way to do it. That is perfect sign she doesn-t know anything about she is doing.
reply

She's a doctor? You're supposed to swab the back of your mouth FIRST then nose. I don't know the standards of health care/knowledge in the US, but it must be higher over here in the UK.
reply

Her end conclusion about doing this for flu: why? Does she really expect us to stop the flu with self tests? And if not, then screw it, you're going to get it every few years anyway
reply

Is there a way the tests can be constructed so as not to be so wasteful of single use plastic? I can only imagine the tonnage of plastic we have been going through for these tests.

its an effective saliava test. they wont report because these people think they are going to get 5 min of fam while people go untreated and die. YOU CAN HANDEL THE TRUTH.
