    Whoa- you know that 5 min rapid test that Trump touts and uses in the WH daily? Turns out the Abbott test machine could be missing as many as 48% of infections. At this point, there could be a full blow epidemic in WH. Still no mask Mr. President? #covid19 https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/05/14/856531970/fda-cautions-about-accuracy-of-widely-used-abbott-coronavirus-test …

        3) there are discussions out there that the validation study with the high false negative could be flawed — and thus machine could still be better than reported. Let’s see what the re-analysis is.

        Once again you don’t tell the entire story. Accuracy is impacted by the handling of the sample. That is true of every sample is it not? Stop being so partisan. That’s not science.

        Additionally it is based on a study that has yet to be peer reviewed. If it goes through peer review and the results hold and the methodology and efficacy of the results can be replicated then I’ll eat my words. You won’t. #PartisanScience
