If only a lateral flow test was as reliable as the goal line technology in front of the North Stand.
We're the initial test not LFT's? In which case there is no testing lab involved.
Your article states a rate of 10 per 1000 false positives, that’s with lay people testing themselves. So for the scouse cunts to get 5+ false positives from 30 tests administered by professional medics says to me they are lying cheating twats prepared to manipulate a deadly virus to suit their preferred schedule.You can have multiple false positives as per the following report in the BMJ.

This explains how and why you can have an high number of false positives.
Personally, I think Klopp is an absolute utter fùcking thundercunt in nearly all he says and does and fits in perfectly at the club he is at.
But, when reading the above it clearly states the process of COVID testing and explains how false positives do occur.
I haven’t read the full paper but the headlines from the latest research from the NHS rest and trace study suggests just 3 false positive cases per 10,000 lateral flow tests when COVID levels are high across the population, so not sure how this tallies with the BMJ research.You can have multiple false positives as per the following report in the BMJ.

Not sure whether they were LFTs or PCRs.We're the initial test not LFT's? In which case there is no testing lab involved.

It states this in the BMJ paper:I haven’t read the full paper but the headlines from the latest research from the NHS rest and trace study suggests just 3 false positive cases per 10,000 lateral flow tests when COVID levels are high across the population, so not sure how this tallies with the BMJ research.
Thanks.It states this in the BMJ paper:
‘’First, we conservatively assumed 1% pre-test probability of active infection, which is, based on the data reviewed above, which is a higher level of active infection than was found in the large vaccine clinical trials.
We also assumed 58% sensitivity and 99% specificity, which are the findings of a recent Cochrane meta-analysis combining 64 published studies of antigen test accuracy, when used to test asymptomatics (Dinnes, J. et al. 2021).
The result in this scenario is 50% false positives (1 true positive and 1 false positive) — even with a 99% specificity test. There would theoretically be zero false negatives, so the risk of missing actual infections is not at issue.
50% is the same as random chance. In other words, this 99% specificity test can do no better than a coin flip when declaring a positive result. So screening in this scenario is not warranted because data that is no better than a coin flip is not data — it’s random chance.
However, the situation is much worse than this because neither PCR nor antigen tests are close to a 99% specificity level in practice, for various reasons (Braunstein et al. 2021). Lee 2020 performed a lab analysis of the CDC PCR test accuracy, which was widely used in the first months of the pandemic, and found it had a 70% specificity (i.e. 30% false positives) and 80% sensitivity (20% false negatives). This is because of faulty designs built in to the test from the beginning, as various news accounts from the Washington Post, NPR and ProPublica have since revealed’’.
He is reported to have said the Liverpool squad had "a lot of false positives", and he then admitted the only player to actually contract Covid after the Chelsea game was Trent Alexander Arnold. Alisson, Firmino and Matip were out of the Chelsea game with Covid, and Klopp missed that game for the same reason.No, how did he benefit by telling us all they were false?
And they will all be away on international duty when the rescheduled Arsenal match takes place as well.
