And I repeat, do you think a test just created for a brand new virus is likely to be more reliable than a flu test? Flu tests having anywhere from 50% to 90% accuracy?
The tests are for different viruses, obviously, but the methodology for creating the tests and using them is the same.
Your 50% is not right. I gave you the CDC information. Did I miss the 50%???
But no, I have no reason to believe the test would be better than 95% specificity required as mentioned in my link.
But I would expect a molecular assay done in a military hospital to be more accurate.
