    This sentence from a NY Times article caught my eye. Can someone smarter than I am confirm if this is correct? I thought a false positive percentage was the percentage of tests falsely positive compared to the total positives from the test. This quote seems to indicate a false positive percentage is actually based on the total tests administered.

    When the proportion of people exposed is that low, the tests’ false positive rate — signaling antibodies where there are none — can limit the tests’ utility.

    Even Cellex’s F.D.A.-authorized test has a false positive rate of about 5 percent. That is still a significant margin of error: In a community where 5 percent of people have had the virus, Dr. Osterholm said, there would be as many false positives as true ones.

    Coronavirus antibody testing finds Bay Area infections may be 85 times higher than reported: researchers

    Further further

    Several colleagues and I in SF were under the weather with fluish symptoms in January. The coughing and chest wheezing (you could hear the wheezing when I breathed normally) were so bad I went to the doctors, convinced I had pneumonia. X-Rays were negative, I was just told it was a very bad flu bug. I'm the guy who never took a sick day once in my life and rarely get sick in general. I am pretty convinced it is already well spread around here.

    #metoo. Cough. Chest rattle. No upper respiratory issues. Still had my super bowl party. Went to work every day. Actually spent three days with 4 people from China a week before I got sick.

    Another worthless post from a worthless lying MSM parrot POS. Almost 7 months and counting, ya lying pedophile. Show me those Tulsi words, anytime, anyway, anywhere. Liar.

    @Gladstone how long were you sick?

    2-3 days of a real 'am I going to cough out a lung and die here in this shower' existential crisis (shower with steam everywhere was my only salvation and I tried everything I could think of, first sick day I ever took in my life), about 10 days of chills and constant coughing, a slightly mild-yet-ever-present cough for a few weeks after that. Just under a month I felt 100% again.

    And when did you feel it come on? Before January 19?
