    Does anyone know what percent of US tests are mass, frequent testing by universities like the below? (Are antigen tests counted in @COVID19Tracking numbers?) And does anyone have details on the U of Illinois saliva test? (Its sensitivity especially?) 🙏 @alexismadrigal @kissanehttps://twitter.com/emmarosepb/status/1308537522897612800 …

    The U of Illinois currently performs 1-2% of *all* daily covid tests in the US. It is *astonishing* that despite stakes, the full weight of US govt, public institutions & private co's failed to produce a testing apparatus bigger than 80 Us of Illinois. https://abcnews.go.com/US/inside-university-illinois-massive-covid-19-testing-operation/story?id=72686799 …

        I don’t have many answers for you but can I ask why you’re curious in the sensitivity of the Illinois tests? The Atlantic had a piece a while back that frequent testing, your sensitivity can be pretty shitty and you’ll still be fine.

        I know of a couple of smaller schools (Colby and Roger Williams) that are doing frequent testing. RWU is testing everyone twice a week. Bowdion has been testing as well. A lot of the New England schools have partnered with @broadinstitute

        Yep! A few schools are doing huge numbers; wondering if they are all doing antigen tests (which ones?) and if those numbers are included in the US daily total (in which case our test numbers aren't what we think they are outside of universities).

        I can say for sure that CTP counts antigen tests as reported by state of Florida as a test
