Next time you should know that any test where the control isn't working, is a defective test. So the third test should have been ignored and redone.
There actually is a faint control line. I'm pretty sure it was so "positive" that there were not enough color particles left for the C line.
That's true.
I guess as long as the decision taken after the test is the safer option (I.E. not going outside), it doesn't matter much.
There was no doubt I was still positive, I was in bed feeling like crap and going absolutely nowhere. I actually did the test to see if these rapid tests actually give consistent results rather than to see if I still have covid. And because I'm a scientist and I just like measuring things.
