It's so awesome how expiration dates are meaningless labels that can be conveniently extended. Totally an indicator I want to put my trust into in the future.
It's the same for food expiration dates. I treat them as an "ideal before this date, be more observant about the quality of this thing after" date
I was thinking the same thing. The efficacy of home tests are already waning, now we are promoting the use of expired tests with an already waning efficacy…
I'm struggling to see how this is a bad thing worthy of scare terms and sarcasm. If the dates were being moved forward and backward, that would be concerning, but they're not.
How is the expiration date determined for an at-home COVID-19 diagnostic test and can it be extended?
