So, the key point is that the highly accurate RT-PCR is less accurate than the numbers say, because the results arrive harmfully late. RT-PCR tests quack like a false positive&#x2F;negative for up to two days, to use the duck test.<p>In a way it&#x27;s a classic performance measurement: The metric measured is great, another metric isn&#x27;t measured and isn&#x27;t great.
