Why are you concerned about that? False positives clearly only happen to NFL athletes, Saban, and other "celebrity" type places...doesn't happen to normal people everyday...


I'm wanting to know just how back they're screwing up these numbers.

I know. We need to know cycle thresholds and probably type of tests used.

But regardless, a larger percentage of announced positives will be "false positives" when virus prevalence is low in the wild.

So...chances are a large chunk on the numbers we're seeing now are actually false positives.
