I'm confused that there's been so little discussion about the low sensitivity/high false negative rate for standard COVID tests...?

High false negative? That's news to me. The false positivity rate is bonkers, though.

How do you differentiate false positive from false negative when a high % of cases are asymptomatic from start to finish?

It’s a matter of: 1. Understanding base rate fallacies 2. .3% of asymptomatic cases transmit https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-2671 … 3. Theoretical true positive vs. practical true positive.
