@ClaraJeffery @jdesmondharris I don't know that's quite right. The one I took (Abbott BinaxNow) has about 98.5% specifity and 85% sensitivity. The specific chance you get a false negative or false positive depends on what your prior probability is about how likely you are to have COVID. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClaraJeffery @jdesmondharris The at-home test kits are pretty good for the "probably fine but just want to be careful" circumstance. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClaraJeffery @jdesmondharris So they're a good tool when your probability is pretty low but not *super* low (if your probability is 0 then all positives will be false positives) which is in line IMO with "I'm vaccinated but feeling a little off". — PolitiTweet.org
