People overestimate the accuracy of this test as well. There's a doctor in Seattle who tested negative, and a few days later ended up in the ICU. He's currently in the process of dying. Just because the test says "no virus" (or vice versa) does not mean you're free and clear. Especially early in the disease cycle RT-PCR is known to produce false negatives sometimes.
