What's this?

Biggest problem with its dataset is likelihood of self-selection bias

It's the right kind of test, that needs to be done all over the place, constantly, but whether or not the data in this study constitutes a truly representative random sample is questionable. Still though, even if the data is fine, ~3% is pretty low for one of the largest and most populous areas in California. Suggests to me that virus is nowhere yet near as prevalent as it's capable of being.

My understanding is these are specific to covid 19 -- Synaesthesia 04/18/2020 12:26PM

This makes sense. There is no way the virus propagated so quickly and far -- NWHokie 04/18/2020 10:25AM

The study itself suggests your guess is too high by order of magnitude ** -- Synaesthesia 04/18/2020 11:02AM

Maybe, but I still think 30% is realistic. ** -- NWHokie 04/18/2020 12:06PM

Yep. And results from randon c19 tests from town outside boston. 146/397 -- ColoVT82 04/18/2020 10:01AM

Serious Q for any of you experts... -- JoesterVT 04/18/2020 09:50AM

False positives are a very small %. Best way is to provide an uncertainty -- ColoVT82 04/18/2020 10:10AM

How do we know false positives are very low? ** -- JoesterVT 04/18/2020 10:15AM

I still think that study is way too small to mean much -- DaveVT 04/18/2020 09:26AM
