In two months I've had 4 SARS-CoV-2 tests (1 of them was rapid), plus an antibody test for it.

And every time it got back negative. So much for the "false positive" conspiracies 😪

Playing Devil’s Advocate, in Singapore the first batch of tests did generate false positives, but as they adapted and more info came in about the disease the later tests were more accurate. There are still isolated cases of false positives but less than before.

@Longpatrol there are always false positives BUT also false negatives. That applies to every test ever. I understand some people have doubts but conspiracists are taking things too far.

@HannibalAteMeOut So far given that Singapore has one of the best medical systems in Asia, I’m confident in their ability to catch false negatives in time for it to have a very limited impact on the population. I get your point though 🙂
