Do you have a source on that? I was under the impression these tests were very specific.
- ineedasername 7y agoThe linked article is the source. The analysis in the linked article placed the specificity within a range of "they could all be false positives" to "they might mostly be legitimate results".
- mrfusion 7y agoI meant about other corona viruses leading to false positives. I hadn’t heard about that.
- ineedasername 7y agoI've seen in mentioned in a few articles criticizing unapproved tests, but it was more about the potential for this than actual testing. I think one was on CNN, but a quick search doesn't turn it up. There's just too much noise in the new-sphere right now to easily find a specific article from a week or two ago if you don't remember something ultra specific about it. You get, um, lots of false positives in your search results ;)
