After buying tests from CVS and online, I tested myself several times and ended up learning an important lesson: while some people worry that home tests could miss covid cases, the bigger problem may be just the opposite. These tests have "false positive" rates of around 2%, which means that if you keep using them, you'll eventually test positive, even though you don't have covid-19. I tested negative several times, but the fourth time the result came up "POSITIVE FOR COVID-19."
