I’m suprised about the claim that rapid tests are a good indicator of when you stop being infectious.
When a housemate of mine got covid, he was still testing positive 10 days after his first symptoms (using UK rapid tests), and I assumed this was normal and didn’t indicate infectiousness.
I also note that the US’s current rules for flying into the country is to either have a negative test or to have recently had a covid infection that you’ve recovered from. I assumed this latter rule was because some people keep testing positive past infectiousness. But the US does allow rapid tests when flying in.
