Rapid antigen covid tests are prevalent around the world, democratizing testing and helping reopen countries’ economies. Appallingly lacking in the United States, at-home rapid antigen tests are the new contraband of choice to an up-and-coming Mexican cartel called Prueba Rapida. “We saw a market opportunity with Americans who have actually socially distanced since the pandemic. Despite vaccination rates, herd immunity may remain elusive with certain antivaxxers, antimaskers, and conspiracy believers. Plus we know the B.1.351 and P.1 lineages that emerged in South Africa and Brazil, respectively, have sequence changes in key positions suggesting that they arose under neutralizing antibody selection pressure, which is quite concerning. Enter Prueba Rapida’s at-home test kit. You can test yourself, friends, or customers and know in 15 mins if you can proceed with your event. For a little extra, we will throw in some cocaine to make things even more fun.”
