Goodness this is way harder than it needs to be.
A RAT or POC test just gives you a Yes / No
You have to understand if you present at a Public Hospital with the signs of an infection / virus that unless you are very sick, they will just give you Panadol and a sick cert for 48 hrs.
Drink fluids and go to bed.
If you aren't sick enough to warrant more treatment - that's all that will happen.
If you are sicker - if your temp is above 38.4C - you get blood cultures and a blood screen for infection. Not a finger prick - a good 30ml sample is taken from a vein.
If the hospital has a 24/7 lab then off it goes.
At no point is a POC considered.
Now - if the hospital DOESN'T have a 24/7 lab then if the patient is sick enough to warrant immediate treatment the yes, a POC test might be useful to start AB's if it's bacterial positive, whilst waiting for cultures to come back from the lab in a few hours time.
The confusion here is because people don't understand the treatment pathways in major hospitals.
POC tests are just yes / no and for people who go to a GP that's quite sufficient.
These POC tests aren't for very sick people. That's what y'all aren't getting.
I agree they will sell well, but in the correct market.
I hope that's clearer.
