I have a sense that this is the formal academic paper version of the webpage that’s footnote 7 in the post. Michael Mina (one of the authors on the paper, and one of the advisors on the webpage) is an epidemiologist (who I follow on Twitter), who has been a big cheerleader for the “antigen tests as contagiousness tests” concept. I was really happy to finally see it written up more formally.
(He’s not first author on the paper, and I don’t want to imply it’s all just him—he’s just the loudest voice I’ve been seeing for this, over a pretty long time.)
A new paper that might be of interest:
Recalibrating SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Lateral Flow Test Relative Sensitivity from Validation Studies to Absolute Sensitivity for Indicating Individuals Shedding Transmissible Virus
