NY does *disclose* results of tests to people who want them, which I think is a mistake and may create more selection bias. OTOH it's not like you could plan your day around getting a test in NY since they set these up on short notice (reportedly sometimes annoying store owners). — PolitiTweet.org

On the other hand, I would imagine there is some self-selection at work: You see a station set up in the produce aisle, and maybe you're more curious to get a test if you think you had COVID-19 at some point. — PolitiTweet.org

In studies where people apply in advance to get a test, as in the Santa Clara Co. study, selection bias could be a bigger issue. If someone was trying to get a regular COVID-19 test and couldn't get one, maybe they'd be eager to sign up for these antibody tests as a substitute. — PolitiTweet.org
