They identified as positive. Who the hell are you to tell them otherwise?

Forget all that other nonsense, how about they refund everyone for their garbage product. How many billions on tests?

Interesting study.
Basically it seems like if you're doing COVID tests for screening in asymptomatic individuals, if you test positive you should follow up with second test to confirm positivity since theres a good possibility that the first test was negative.
Basically kind of the opposite of what everyone was being told. Basically if you test positive trust the result and quarantine!

Why you don't test asymptomatics.

Isn't that why a positive result was recommended to have a second test which, according to the study, resulted in 94% accuracy.

No shite.

Not only that...but you couldn't test out of quarantine. A negative test didn't remove you from the quarantine period.

A positive test was considered positive and the only people who were allowed out of quarantine with a follow up test were athletes.

If I am reading this right, my concern would not be with the false positives, but would be with the false negatives. If the same error rate holds true with the false negatives, there were actually one hell of a lot more folks that had Covid than we know about.

Can we lock LSUnurse and this data in a room together?

51% of covid deaths in Louisiana last week were fully vaccinated people.
