I’m just trying to be a good citizen and make sure I know what I’m walking around with, not win some medical statistics contest.
If it isn't 99% you're wasting your time. And even at 99% it will still have about 16% false positives. Meaning it will say you have anybodies but your don't.
I have a 90+ year old mother who lives 50 miles from from me and I haven't seen her in person in 2 months (lots of Zoom time though).
My point is, I've looked into this stuff a lot -- for my own personal use. I'm waiting until the big companies come out with tests with specificity of 100%. Roche, the 2nd largest pharma in the world, is supposed to be close to coming out with such a test. (I don't own Roche stock).
The FDA does not approve these tests yet, so, until they do, the companies are running their own accuracy tests on own their own products. That's a joke.
Your doctor, even if he is a good doctor, is likely to read the accuracy information off the package -- that no one but the company itself has verified.
If you take the same test that they gave in the Miami test -- it had an 88% specificity rate -- which means that approximately 70% (SEVENTY) of the positives shown by that test were false positives.
If that scares you, good. It scared the hell out of me, too.

Not trying to be mean here, but why in the world can’t you take your own temperature?
His buttplug may be in the way.

The estimate now is that 20% of all Americans have had the cv19.
Whos arse did you pull that number out of? It may be true of parts of NYC, but no normal area of the Country is anywhere near that.

Ok.
So My test is NEXT Tuesday
BRGMC uses Mayo’s Test.
98.6 percent specificity for those of you who are fighting about the test statistics.
But I guess it’s another week until whether I find out whether I maybe had it. And another wk for Texridder to quibble about how much of a maybe I had it or didn’t, while she / he complains about how Muh Drumpf is Hitler because testing and he’s not ordering the Mayo Clinic be 100 percent perfect and concrete and nobody should want to know to a greater degree of maybe about what is in our own body bc only the government can tell us how to calculate our own risks not our doctors unless it’s abortions bc we all know those are life sustaining and necessary medical procedures and the only one we can rely on our physicians and good sense to voluntarily have unimpeded by Orange Hitler.

False. There is a gastrointestinal strain of the virus.

What is the sensitivity of the test? I can't find it anywhere on Mayo's website?

Why do you care? You have already demonstrated that you don't understand the numbers and that you don't do math. Leave the nice lady alone.

It’s 98.6 % specific per the info the BR General Medical Center publishes about the test.
I don’t know or care if that’s the same as sensitivity, or up to the Texridder standard of proof for my medical issues, but I do trust the Mayo Clinic and my doctor to explain the difference.

It will give true negative result 98.6% of time. It will only give false negative 1.4% of time.
I would trust the result.

Anyway - who else is getting the test? And if so- why are you doing it?
I refuse to test, even if I strongly suspected I had the virus. I will not give big brother the chance to try and count me or track me! F them!

You have no idea what you're doing. If all you have to do is spout out the 1.4% figure in every case, why does the prevalence number matter?

She's not concerned about a false negative, fool.
She's concerned about s false positive.
You are clueless.

Tell me exactly how I demonstrated that I don't understand the numbers?

You got me on this one.
Sensitivity will give true positives and false positives.
Specificity gives true negatives and false negatives.
Apologies to you and Wednesday.
