Another rant about why it’s dangerous to trust #nCoV2019 “experts” with no credibility in epi or virology, and obviously a minimal understanding of fundamental molecular biology or ID diagnosticspic.twitter.com/drRn9GOqHJ

And 100% specificity? The second test was only validated in a tiny cohort (pos n=2, neg n=31), no wonder there weren’t false positives. That’s not even remotely in the realm of statistical power you’d need to validate something for clinical use.
The problem with getting information from an “expert” who evidently knows approximately zero about molecular assays is that these both are presented like #nCoV2019 tests coming soon to a clinic near you! Nope. Neither test is ready for use as the diagnostic.
And the last thing anyone anywhere needs is a bunch of people overwhelming providers with demands for tests that are either unproven technology not yet evaluated in patients or some primers that haven’t been adequately validated for clinical use
