re: Faking positive Covid tests to keep numbers up?

The rapid tests don’t typically have false positives - especially with someone who is symptomatic.
Their error lies in missed asymptotic cases where viral levels aren’t high enough to register on the test.
As for your daughter having mild symptoms for a very short period of time - that’s pretty common with young people.

I am just wondering about the 50+ people she came in contact with, no one has it (or showing symptoms)

1) Young people don’t transmit at the rate adults do
2) Given her mild symptoms, she probably a pretty low viral load
3) it’s only been a few days, it can take 3-5 days for symptoms to show
It’s a weird virus. I know people who had it and didn’t transmit it to anyone despite plenty of opportunity. And then I know of a single person spreading it to a dozen people in a single setting.

So she went to a friend's house and quarantined?

I couldn't go to a friend's house to quarantine? That makes no sense. If I absolutely had to go elsewhere to quarantine, I am pretty sure I could find someone who would let me do so at their place. But I don't see why I would have to do this..

Or the way the hospital where my friend works does the testing keeps the numbers up as well.
The positive tests are done multiple times over a course of days.

Huh?
She went to a friends house the Friday night and Saturday night before she tested positive Monday.

PCR test
You can make these say whatever you want. Negative? Give her another amplification whirl, and it'll find a molecule eventually.
I'm speaking facetiously, but not too far off. Cycle threshold values, inert virus molecules, amplification, whizbang bleepblop

Perhaps you could expand upon what you wrote.
The rabbit hole that this covid testing according to EUA has created is deep. Very deep.
To be fair, I think the most EUAs ever given before Covid was about a dozen or so. So the hundreds upon hundreds of submitted diagnostic and serology tests for EUA is unprecedented.
For PCR specifically, there’s been all sorts of clusterfricks along the way. Contaminated reagents across 50 or so labs. Arbitrary control parameters. The list goes on and on but the vast majority of issues stem from the relaxed, almost nonexistent, requirements for submitting and obtaining an EUA.
Serology is 100 times worse fwiw.

Not sure but I can tell you that it's running rampant in my family right now. My brother in law, my wife, my step son, my sister in law and two nieces all have tested positive in the last 7 days. They admitted my sister in law this morning.
I also lost a HS classmate to it last week. She passed two weeks after her mother passed from it.

The problem is that current positives from most states fall out of the range of infectious. They are too sensitive. That will net many unnecessary responses.

Friend,
Perhaps you could expand upon what you wrote. I only find six labs listed that have made the do not use list and five of those six are not PCR tests. As it seems you may well be a lab technician or above, what is the gold standard for testing?

Gestation period for the virus is up to 5 days. You can't judge if your daughter is a superspreader just yet.
Doesn't sound like yall are avoiding others or socially distancing with all the sleepovers and partying. Even if you didn't get it this time you will soon and don't try to blame fake test numbers.
When you do get it please actually do the 10 day quarantine(hopefully your daughter is) so you don't pass it to an old person.

That's because this virus isn't deadly like they want us to believe. Most people never know they have it. Just cause the test gave a positive result doesn't mean she has Covid. It means she had a mild cold with 100 fever. I wouldn't sweat it.
