Fast, low-cost testing is essential for averting a second wave of Covid-19 by MENACHEM FROMER, PAUL VARGHESE, and ROBERT M. CALIFFSEPTEMBER 23, 2020 notes that Abbot Labs's 5-minute test has a 1.5% false positive rate (a 98.5% "specificity").
CDC Influenza SARS-CoV-2 (Flu SC2) Multiplex Assay|Instructions for Use does not, shamefully, say in any clear way what its false positive and false negative rates are in its 11-page "Performance Characteristics" section. How shameful!
