That doesn't seem right if it says 5 people had it then a false positive would only say that there's a 2% that likelihood that that test is wrong. Its not saying there is a 2% likelihood that 10000 people are sick. Its saying there's a 98% chance that this test diagnosis them right and 2% chance it does it wrong.
This is better than the false positive of other tests like the normal tests with a 10-15% false positive rate.
