My husband, Rob, and I just returned from the Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi. We helped our son, Fr. Josh, with a Family Day VBS. We have another family member with high risk health issues here at home. Rob and I have been vaccinated; our family member wanted a negative Covid test after we returned. I had been interested in the home test kits. We used the BinaxNow kit kit. How accurate are home kits? We both tested negative. BinaxNow is 98.5% accurate for negative results. The test was easy and fairly noninvasive. Here is Abbott’s website with a bit more information about the test kit. Here is even more information. The antibodies are in the test card, much like the Eldon blood test card blood type kit. Yet another opportunity for a science lesson.
