probably a lot but if they're getting tested they're probably showing symptoms, so why not isolate anyway?

A disease infects 1% of the population and a test for it is 90% accurate. You test positive, what is the probability you actually have the disease?

You could test enough people even if COVID didnt exist and still get a result because of false positive rate.

PCR actually has a very high false negative rate.

Which is why it's the preferred testing method used by the white house and preferred by Donald Trump. Trump wants the testing to be useless and inaccurate as possible. Failing that, he'd like to create the illusion/propaganda that testing is inaccurate so he can discredit the high case numbers. It's crazy how politicized this whole corona virus thing has become.

Please be careful who you get your information from. There are people in the highest ranks of government who'd rather see you dead than take a political hit. They don't have your best interest in mind and THEY WILL GET YOU KILLED if you listen to them!!!!

meaning that if a person gets a positive, there's a 90% chance that they're infected? or does this test give correct results 90% of them time? biostats is not my strong point

Someone is intentionally spreading false information.
in medical textbooks there is a precise definition of what a sick person is.
Testing positive means absolute fuck all but its important statistics.
