What is the true/false negative/positive rate for these tests? I can't find that online and I have tried.
If FPR is 10% and we test 100,000,000 people in the US but only 100,000 have the disease right now, then assuming a TPR of 100% (and a FNR of 0%) we will have 10,100,000 positive results = 101 x the number of people with COVID? How is that useful?
