Yes, the nasal swab test was not 100% accurate.

You must not understand much

I was on a call last week with several industry insiders. They admitted the viral test tends to show false negatives. The antibody tests tend to show false positives about 30% of the time.

So the falses are in both directions?
Well then, I just flipped a coin.
Nope, I don't have it! Whew!
sounds like the same thing as getting tested
A very easy math sample can show that false positives outnumber real ones if the percentages are right.
but that is "math" which is both "racist" and not relevant to this virus apparently

This is BS. I personally gave 11 nasal swabs to 11 guys housed in a small pod in a detention center in Colorado. All 11 came back positive. No symptoms at all. If anything it has too many false positives.
