[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 747206, member: 1929"] The rapid tests vary significantly, so it's hard to generalize from that. The ratio of false positives in a testing sample isn't the most helpful thing to look at in isolation. That depends on how many people actually have the illness that are being tested. Don't know how many you've tested, but if there's only one actual positive among them, it's hard to be critical of the test. It it is designed as a screening test, you want it to be highly sensitive so you can follow up with a highly specific test (RT-PCR) to make a diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
