"Many of us have done countless rapid antigen tests (RATs) over the course of
the pandemic. Testing ourselves at home has become second nature.

But there’s also a growing worldwide market in medical tests sold online
directly to the public. These are “direct-to-consumer” tests, and you can
access them without seeing a doctor.

While this might sound convenient, the benefits to most consumers are
questionable, as we discovered in a recent study."
