You're counting a positive as someone who isn't sick, doesn't have symptoms and isn't contagious. The US test is 32x more sensitive than even the test used as the standard in the research above. ie - it's complete horseshit.
Read your own posting. I quoted it directly, and explained a simple statistical calculation that most high school students can do.
You can try to dissemble as much as you want, but it won’t change what you wrote. Either you were wrong then, or you are wrong now. You can’t have it both ways.
If someone isn't sick, doesn't have symptoms and isn't contagious that's a false positive. The tests are too sensitive, they aren't even testing for sick or contagious people. By using your logic any test can be made to make anyone look positive.
That is factually incorrect. People can be infected and not have symptoms. This is true for many viruses.
I agree the test is too sensitive but with the president I would want as sensitive of a test as possible. They havent been found to be sick until this point right after Hope was found to be sick, and it is Trump and Melania... so It likely isnt a false positive.

Disagree, the tests are faulty and inconsistent
less than 3% of positive PCR tests for covid were actually viable virus even at a 35 Ct.
97% could not be cultured/were not live. these people were not sick nor contagious.
this test is seriously over-sensitive.
fun fact: the 40Ct used in the US is 32X this sensitive.

Your own post says the false positive rate is 5-10%.
Using the worst case of 10%, the probability of two consecutive false positives is 0.1 * 0.1 = 0.01, or 1%.
So, you are disagreeing with YOURSELF.

being overly sensitive doesnt equate to a false positive.

That is a ridiculous statement.
