I wonder what's the process through which false positives happen in this case. Previous infection by milder Coronaviruses?
Edit: I'm looking at the reddit post but I have a lot of reservations with the "prevalence 0.06", unless we'll use the test to test absolutely everybody and not only people who are suspect. Has that calculator been validated as well?
If the test was 12 false positives in 128 negatives, how come they can claim the false positive rate is 60%?
