The next big issue is sampling. Is the study even purporting to capture a random sample of the population? If so, how successful is its strategy for doing that? And what are the likely biases? — PolitiTweet.org

I've also seen some tests that produce a third, "borderline" category instead of just positive and negative. It just goes to show that these tests are not exact & to some extent you face a trade-off between false positives and false negatives. https://t.co/hr3TBdaBAi — PolitiTweet.org

One thing right off the bat is that many of these studies don't include minors. Since children are less likely to have COVID-19, excluding them will tend to bias the reported infection rate upward from the true rate throughout the population. — PolitiTweet.org
