Asymptomatic vs False Positive

[Kachina26]

What's the difference? How does one distinguish which is which?

More tests?

Asymptomatic is showing no symptoms or conditions

False positive is incorrect test result


If your asymptomatic they will not give you a test unless you are somebody very important. Because you have to have symptoms of covid-19 to even send you for a test.

A false positive would be a positive results then backed up with two negatives to prove the first test was a false positive

Not entirely true in most states. In Arizona at least, you do not need to have symptoms to get a test anymore. Also, most employers are not requiring 2 negative tests in a row. Matter of fact, I dont think there is a clearly defined and followed process to Identify a false positive result.

And how do we know if those aren't false negatives.

Yeah that may be true now but the wife had covid-19 and I never got it or showed symptoms and they wouldn't test me but made me sit through a two-week quarantine of course I'm not from Arizona either
