So in the US, 180k tests, 60k positive, 120k negative. At a 70% accuracy, that's an additional ~36k, maybe half of those are asymptomatic walking around thinking they're clear?
The same study also found that chest CT scans accurately identified infection in 98 percent of cases whereas RT-PCR tests detected it correctly 71 percent of the time.
RT-PCR testing remains the primary method for diagnosing COVID-19 in the United States.
