In other words a person can have a rapid antigen test and still be infected with delta variant!
The nonsense about vaccinations allowing things to get back to normal is refuted by the evidence or increasing "breakthrough infections" in the vaccinated. The vaccinated can still spread covid, hence the need for them to continue with the same measures of mask wearing etc.
