I've read a few things on here about people being reluctant to get tested as it is thought there are a lot of false positive test results, and people are reluctant to test because they might have to quarantine which they can't afford, and they might not even have covid. All very understandable. I live in Western Australia where there is hardly any covid, zero community transmission in 7 months, basically anyone who has it has come in from abroad and is in quarantine (currently about a dozen cases). I had to have a covid test this week as I had a few symptoms (high temp, cough, runny nose) and it occurred to me that while people here are still getting tested, we clearly aren't getting any false positives. As I said, zero cases of community transmission since April. So can anyone explain this? Are there really not many false positive cases? Or is there something I'm missing?
