They are accurate and specific for the Covid-19 and no others.
Also what the data US uses for their reports.
Back in the 1st weeks of the spread, there were a lot of problems, but now the problem is not enough tests to accurately define how many infections are here.
Now the data is under-reported, so actually the totals are higher.


Most panic is from not adhering to the guidelines to stay away from other people. Hard to spread if you're not in contact with other people.

Not all tests are accurate and equal. NY was using drive thru. Testing in minutes to see if you developed an antigen for covid19 means you are Positive, but it cant say if you are still viral, or you are cured as it does NOT do a real "Culture"
