I thought you was giving up on beating the statistics drum? Listen to what she says between 10:40 and 10:55. It's complete nonsense.

Maybe....but the false positives?

Well of course there will be false positives as there nearly always are in medical tests. However she seems to be mixing up false positives with tests that are negative. e.g. 90% of people taking the community tests are negative, i.e. they think they have the virus, get tested, and don't have it. At least that's what I could make out from her ramblings, I might be wrong as I gave up after listening 3 times and trying to decipher.
