No it isn’t because you are putting a time on it, whereas the chances of getting coronavirus over an infinite period of time is infinitely higher. There’s value in it being right 99.999% of the time and the recipient of the test taking the appropriate action.
I suppose there’s no point screening for breast cancer or prostate cancer - after all the person getting the test could start to develop it the next week?

Indeed but we can’t confirm whether those who are have coronavirus or a a mild cold. That could have consequences further down the line.
