The Impact of Repeating COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Tests on Prevalence Boundary Performance and Missed Diagnoses

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The  article "THE IMPACT OF REPEATING COVID-19 RAPID ANTIGEN TESTS ON ON PREVALENCE BOUNDARY PERFORMANCE AND MISSED DIAGNOSES "by Gerald J Kost is devoted to formulation of the mathematical basis for COVID-19 rapid antigen tests improvement. This research seems especially relevant and useful in the context of future pandemics. Thus, I find that the topic aligns well with the journal's scope and is relevant to current research interests.

However, I recommend a minor revision to address the following point:

30-35. It is necessary to add the references to the works of other researchers besides the author confirming the statements.
