How, exactly does that happen?
I assume these tests are made to detect something specific to COVID-19…how would it detect positive for something that’s not present?

I have no idea which specific test the NFL is using. The ones you can get OTC from Abbott, Quidel, et.al work and straight from the .gov’s mouth-
Nucleocapsid protein (NP) is one of the predominantly expressed structural proteins and has been confirmed as an ideal target for early diagnostic detection in SARS-CoV infection. That is what these tests are designed to detect.
