Yes this is concerning. Most folk think the 'test' is 100% accurate with 1 test, this is far far far from true. We didn't even KNOW about this virus 8 weeks ago. Modern science isn't that fast to get to 100% accuracy (e.g. AIDS is now absolutely 100% accurate, took 20+ years)

In particular is this virus contagious *per contact* or is it merely that we have low / no immunity and it doesn't set off alarms and we go about our day and that's why this spreads so much

Yes -exactly, its a common gut bacteria. So, immune bells are not going off. Note, that why its also in the feces. And why do many false -ves? This is DNA, we are looking for RNA (which is also made, but only in detectable quantities when the bacterial conc is high).

But it's a virus, not a bacterium. And it resides in the lower respiratory tract - hence why no 'cold' symptoms (i.e. blocked, runny nose) but instead pneumonia = common with it.

Better get some sleep then :) Will explain as much as you want. I am 100% sure. This is not secondary infection, which is a fair assessment for one or two cases.

Pitch it at no higher than grad student level. Clueless, physicist undergrad grad student.
