Not so great if people are using to test to see if they're "immune"

Testing should perhaps not be done at home, at all.

True positives could be sent for PCR testing to confirm whether they are infected or already cleared.

Negatives that show symptoms could likewise be sent for PCR testing.

This way, you'd massively reduce the strain on PCR testing resources.
