I am not buying or selling on this agree testing is important but feel there is a band wagon rolling we're testing is the only show in townRight but that's exactly the problem.
Specificity rate is the success rate of picking up negatives properly. That's the 91%
Sensitivity is the success of picking up positives correctly. That's 99%.
Accurate testing of millions of people a week with 15 minute results vs. 100% accurate testing of 10,000 a day with a 4 day wait.
This is a classic example of "don't let perfection be the enemy of very good".
And in the Thai trial, they sent the negative responses back and isolated them before testing them 3 days later to confirm - which would make the chances of being false negative both times closer to 0.01%.
