I received my four test kits the other day. Since we were at a dinner party with a couple that had Covid and did not know it until later, and we started exhibiting cold like symptoms, we decided to test ourselves. We tested positive. So, I called my doctor to see if there was some medication to be used and he said "we don't recognize the home test kits results. You will have to come in and be tested." WOW! Anyway, he said that if we were having minor cold-like symptoms, we could just take over the counter cold meds and stay home for five days. Then we should wear a mask for at least the next five days if we ventured out.
I am sure that the reason for being doubtful of the home test kits is based on the idea that non-medical personnel probably are prone to making mistakes and might get false results.
