    "False positives are driving the pandemic!" In NSW last week we tested 332,000 people and found 95 positive cases. If every case was a false positive (unlikely) then the false positive rate is 95/332,000 = 0.028% The "casedemic" is nonsense. It's simple mathspic.twitter.com/T0k2NXnkU0

        They just aren’t interested in the detail and want soundbites to fit their narrative

        Varies by lab, there are recommendations but as with most places in the world high Ct values tend to be re run

        If false positives were a thing, we'd be getting random positives from all over the state, not just closely linked to areas where there already cases.
