So....... in that case..... what in the actual F are we relying on rapid tests for if they don't actually ever test positive. Seriously.

Sort of going through the same thing. My wife started feeling symptoms about 5 days ago, basically classic COVID symptoms. It started with a sore throat, then light fever, body aches, and congestion the next day, then a slight improvement of those symptoms but a total loss of taste and smell for the last couple of days. But she has tested negative 5 times now on rapid tests. I know technically you can lose taste and smell with other viruses, but that seems a bit unlikely at this point.
