In that "friend of a friend of a friend's room-mate's uber driver's 3rd cousin..." realm: I did hear of a guy who got tested - entirely voluntarily, just wanted "to know" and he was contacted by the testing lab and told he was negative. Then he was re-contacted a day later, told they made a mistake and he was positive. Then 3 days after that he was contacted and told that no, the original negative was correct and the error had been the second contact saying he was positive. He's now just as much in the dark as he was before he took the test "just so he'd know." Well now he doesn't know anything. Oh, but a friend and coworker of mine that came in contact with this guy is now sitting out on a 14 day quarantine because he reported the contact with the guy during the phase where he thought he was positive. Apparently there are no take-backs or second chances on that.
I have zero faith in the testing going on right now. None. I won't bother to get tested because I'm fairly certain either/any result isn't trustworthy, so why bother? I damn-sure won't be getting any vaccine. They want me as a guinea pig for their toys, fine. One billion dollars, tax-free, in my account first. Once I have it safely moved and available to my family in the event of my untimely demise...then we'll talk. I'd take that risk if it meant setting up my family and future generations.

Exactly true ! Testing, as conducted now is a "crap shoot", with no base of reliability .
That is why I posted Elon Musk's testing since it demonstrates unreliability, with exactly the same identical testing parameters.
If the test can't be replicated, using the same identical parameters, it isn't science !
Science demands the ability to have the same results !
