Friends, I am preparing a report on the Danish Study. But just saw this: it is me or there is something wrong about a study where base rate of infection is 2% AND the sensitivity of the test at 85%, meaning ~7 times more pple were infected in each cohort than shown in the paper? https://t.co/yf6PKjiHFo — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, how can the infection rate be 2% when the sensitivity is 82 ½ %. Can someone interpret this? — PolitiTweet.org
