A positive test for covid has far more significance than a negative test especially if the three genes "e gene, n gene, rdrp gene" are positive along with a wave pattern confirmed by national virology Institute. The low viral load can only be assesed by a BSL 3, machine.

All professional courses are tough. Projecting medical school like "hell" is definitely an overstatement. Yes. it is tough due to frequent viva, terminals, ward leavings, send ups etc, but it's only to make u tough for that "time"when ur decision means life/death for the patient

Rapid antigen rest for detecting covid has around 35 percent chances of picking up the viral disease. A positive test means no further testing. But a neg test needs to be confirmed by RTPCR. (65 percent pick up rate). If still negative but having symptoms, CT chest needed.
