>>11702669>Do you even dyor before spouting shit you hear?You made an outstanding claim, burden of proof falls to you.
But yeah, a brief Google search doesn't turn up "absurdly high" false positives.
The first link in _your_ search says:
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/28/health/coronavirus-antibody-tests-terrible/index.html>Of the 12 antibody tests that were studied by the COVID-19 Testing Project, one of the tests gave false positives more than 15% of the time, or in about one out of seven samples. >Three other tests gave false positives more than 10% of the time. So... one in twelve (8%) tests gives 15% false positives, three in twelve (25%) give 10% false positives.
Doing the math, let's say these 12 tests get 100 samples each, that's 1200 tests total.
This page says the worst test gets 15 false positives, and three others get 10 each.
That's 45 tests out of 1200, or 3.75% overall.
Let's assume the other 8 tests get 5% false positives, even though the article doesn't say.
That's a grand total 85 false positives out of 1200, or 7%.
So let's take 7% off the 20-25% NYC antibody tests.
That's still 13-18% or 1.1 to 1.5 million survivors, even two weeks ago, or 1 in 298 to 1 in 219 Americans, again ONLY counting immune in NYC, even though the city only accounts for 1 in 6 US deaths,
So more likely 1 in 50 to 1 in 36 Americans have had the 'Rona, still nowhere near Opie's "1 in 2000".
Bitch all you want about ME not doing research, but I looked into it for you, and the math comes up "you're full of shit".
