How Many Positives Aren’t Actually Positive?

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

So we’ve seen Matthew Stafford and Governor Dewine both test positive. Only for it to be false positive. So my question is how often are us common folk testing positive only to be told to go home and self isolate for a few weeks then test negative when in reality maybe some of those people would test negative an hour later?

It depends on the test being used...regardless though, it’s not many

What is “not many”? Is it 25 or 250,000?

Better check the corpses, could be a lot of false deads.

Probably 25 if you ask the libs. Closer to 250,000 if you ask the Cons.

depends on the sensitivity of each test used....but they are pretty good as far as any tests are concerned
