Chiefs Giants are having a covid outbreak

ShowtimeSBMVP · 11-03-2021, 10:39 AM

Saquon Barkley is not alone. Several more Giants players tested positive this morning after the team gave everyone rapid tests following their Tuesday COVID scare. Those players have taken PCR tests and the Giants expect to get those results tonight.

**** **** **** ****

don't test any chiefs players

I thought the 2nd test has already come back with only 1 or 2 positives?

As long as they didn't get/give it to us.

Didn't they have a bunch of false positives this morning? Saw something about 13 testing positive, then all were negative on re-test.

rapid tests have high false positive rates.

Do you know that for a fact? Do you know which exact test they were using?

anecdotal I guess , This is just info I have gathered through work (taking to ER docs etc..) and from my friend who has been a lab tech for 25 years and my wife who is a doctor .

If you get a positive rapid test you will need to have a PCR test to confirm that tells me the rate is high enough no to trust it on positives, if your negative you are good though and that is why it is still useful for for places that test a lot of people often.

I think there was a post that the team was using rapid tests.

I’d say that was accurate early on, but not so much anymore. Over time they have been able to “dial it in” pretty accurately with rapid antigen tests. Many being less than 3 false positives per 100 in clinical trials. I’ve been distributing these nationally for the better part of the last 12 months. Working on more global reach these days. Granted, there are some Chinese brands I wouldn’t trust, but for every one of those there’s a Korean, American, or European brand that produces a much more accurate and specific result.
