How Many False Positive Covid Tests Are There?

There probably have been many false positives. There have also probably been many false negatives as well as tests have been created. There have also been far too many people who have never been tested at all.

Just curious to your thoughts. How many should we be testing and how often?
 
I'm more worried about false negatives than false positives. I've had multiple employees have symptoms, get tested negative go back 2 days later as they feel worse and they test positive. Only know of one person who tested positive and had zero symptoms.

Remember, Clay Travis is the guy who said that the US would have fewer than 1000 deaths. He's proven correct about as often as the OP.
Please, no one can prove those 200,000 excess deaths are due to COVID-19. It could be a coincidence...or maybe people spontaneously combusted from being locked down too long.

So hard to tell the difference between real opinion and satire anymore.

The majority of our employees who test positive never have any symptoms. Probably around 60 percent. Another 25 percent have mild symptoms. 10 percent have severe symptoms or persistent symptoms. 5 percent are hospitalized. 1 employee died.

This is out of a population near 6,000. We've been requiring biweekly or weekly testing since May.

Maybe they voluntarily sacrificed themselves for the betterment of the economy. True Americans.
 
The goal is to get everyone on some drug. It's just good business.

Thirty years ago, the head of the drug company Merck made some remarkably candid comments about his distress that his company's market was limited to sick people. Suggesting he would like Merck to be more like the maker of Wrigley's chewing gum, the CEO said it had long been his dream to make drugs for healthy people, to "sell to everyone." That dream now drives the marketing machinery of the most profitable industry on earth. From award-winning Ray Moynihan, -- one of the world's top medical journalists -- Selling Sickness reveals how widening the boundaries of illness and lowering the threshold for treatments is creating millions of new patients and billions in new profits. This in turn is driving up personal drug bills and threatening to bankrupt national health systems all over the world. As more and more ordinary life is "medicalized," the industry moves ever closer to being able to "sell to everyone."

How the **** don’t we have a reliable test yet? This crap keeps happening and we’re almost 6 months into this pandemic.

This goes hand in hand with PCR testing, the inventor of which saying that it could be used to ‘create’ scary diseases (an obvious shot at Fauci, Gallo, et al regarding HIV/AIDS).

Also fits in with what that monster Karl Rove said: “We create our own reality and force the people to react to it.”

:rolleyes:
