Connecticut DPH says that between June 15 and July 17 they had a total of 144 positive test results. Of those, 90 were discovered to be false positives. https://apnews.com/b98cf80c36d338f833f3a47d84141d11
This is a major issue throughout the temperate north. When you're doing large scale testing but the true positives have dropped to almost none, the false positives will outnumber them even with a relatively low error rate.
Here in DC our numbers are so microscopic that I can't help but wonder if false positives alone will keep us in Phase 2 forever.
Testing debacle might explain Connecticut's catastrophic worst in the nation los of 12.8% of their long-term care population. They reportedly were isolating the false positives with highly infectious true positives.
