I read most of the article, in particular the descriptions of the different kinds of tests. Which ones in your understanding are most likely to cause falso positives? I could not see that addressed in the article.
Also, do you know which tests are most commonly used?

PCR my guess overall; easiest to inflate signal; but each test would have it’s own intrinsic false +/- rate. A monoclonal antibody test would probably give a cleaner signal than a polyclonal antibody test, but give more false negatives; this is a pre-caffeinated from the hip generalization.
Also, do you know which tests are most commonly used? No. Probably by state, hospital system, testing center wholesaler, Rx chain doing testing, etc.
