This depends a lot on their testing strategy. My understanding is they were testing a lot of asymptomatic people who had contacted patients. The more patients you test with mild symptoms the more your positive rate will decrease

The point was repeated a few times. They are trying to encourage people to not take the tests without a directive to do so because if even they feel bad chances are they don’t have it and are taking away tests and eating resources that could be better suited for the more severe cases.
