there’s this guy claiming that PCR tests for Covid19 are 90% false positive. this just isn’t remotely true
if you’re talking about rapid tests this might be possible but it would be bad; if you’re talking about pcr tests this is orders of magnitude worse that other numbers i’ve seen, i would appreciate a link

thank you! this is a great link. all of these higher false positive and false negative values are for non pcr tests, i noticed, but it’s still helpful that they named the values for particular other tests
