[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3459808, member: 9374"] So what brand were these tests, that's what I want to know. Did they report this false positive rate to the company? How did they determine they were false positive? By comparing with comparative negative tests from the send out kits? I'm just trying to understand, I mean I don't want to be telling all these sick people they have COVID when it's not. Considering those numbers differ drastically from those published when testing was verified by the FDA, I think we in the community should know. <edit> I just looked it up again on ours, which is the Quidel Sofia2 and the PPA or sensitivity is published at 96.7%. I'd be very interested to follow up on these claims if it is the kit we are using. I know the local nursing homes are using some Abbott and some of another brand I don't recall offhand. Either way, I'd like to know which one was tested so bad... I know of one physician who ordered some from China a few months ago that were very bad. He lost alot of money going outside the recommended FDA testing - not suggesting this is the case at all just an anecdote. But I would like to know more about this test. [/QUOTE]
