> system now relies on self reporting from RAT tests

When my social circle finally got COVID, the rapid tests didn't work at all for almost all of us. One friend even tested himself 15 times with them, and he definitely used it right. We used various RATs. PCR showed positive for Omicron though.

I don't think those tests are as reliable as they're claimed to be.

I would think hospital stats matter more than active cases though.

Switch to oropharyngeal swabbing technique, this worked much better for me.
