Patrick McKenzie @patio11A week after Keio University hospital's result that 6% of asymptomatic patients were infected (n: ~70) we got another ~4.8% result (n: ~200) in Tokyo. https://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/s/article/2020043090070748.html … There are sampling methodology issues with both, but that's ~100X presently reported prevalence.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
Correction: this is about the 2nd study, so it is not another new confirmatory data point. (My bad for this; didn't realize identifying information matched on first glance.)

What's the false positive rate for the test that they used? (Antibody tests always have false positives, because antibodies match small protein fragments, which can easily happen by random chance.)
