I suspected as much. It is not as simple as just carrying out an antigen test on one person. I have heard the references that it is easy on one person, but when the numbers start to increase it becomes more difficult. That might create a situation where there might be a slippage in standards or a slippage in how that is managed. One can understand how that might happen. In terms of the overall numbers, I heard the witness say that antigen testing does and can have a role, especially in controlled situations such as the universities. How could we best use it to complement PCR testing in terms of aviation and trying to assist people who have lost their jobs or cannot work in aviation at present? Is there a role for it there?
