Does anyone have experience with COVID rapid tests not returning particularly strong negative results?
I've been testing daily the past week for reasons, and each test has been negative, as has each test of the person visiting me. However, their C-line (control) was strong, clear, full; mine is faint and takes the whole 15 minutes to be barely there.
My questions are:<li>is that test still valid?</li><li>what causes that?</li><li>need I worry?</li><li>what can I do to fix that?</li>
I use the Longsee rapid tests and it's a newly-ordered batch ("rel: 2022-05-19") with an expiration date of October 2024.
