We've seen so much data coming in on positive results but also overwhelming that some tests aren't accurate. Individuals getting re tested and then it being immediately negative.
What is the accuracy of covid tests acrosss each state and the country?

Probably depends on the brand of test.
Practically speaking I’m not very impressed.

Oh so you think it’s ok that you don’t wear a mask and you wanna go back to work?
Ok trumpkin
How about you stop being so selfish and think about people who are at high risk like teachers and people of size?

My physician told me they were about 70% accurate. A lot of false positives but no false negatives. If you had it you would test positive. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to retest if you were positive or just stay home for two weeks. If you’re not an athlete you’re probably getting tested because you’re sick from something and you don’t need to be around others.

Positive test results: probably a little more than 50%
Negative test results: 100% accurate, IMO

My wife's work had a group come in and test anyone who wanted it. One guy popped positive. It was someone she had been in meetings with and she got a letter saying she had been EXPOSED!!! The thing is, this guy had to stay out of work for 2+ weeks and took 3 negative tests before they would let him back and that was due to a false positive. Even with 3 tests they made him wait the 2+ week period.
Notice how they only false positive though. It's almost as if they are made to create higher numbers. I think the numbers of Covid cases are about 50% or less than what they think they are. I think people who have popped positive and actually have it have tested multiple times to see if they still have it. Throw in 3 positives for 1 person and the media will have you thinking 3 different people popped positive.

Since these these tests are only a few months in,I'd say they were probably less than 70% accurate.
This virus didn't come with instructions.
