SeductiveNun Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Rotoworld has an update that 1 player and 3 staff members had false positives and that the game with Cincy is likely to go on as scheduled. I’m my line of work, if a lab had as many screw ups as whatever testing lab the NFL is using we’d fire them in an instant. Granted, the labs I used were for a different purpose (environmental sampling) but you’d think a medical lab would have better QA/QC procedures than it appears they do. None of this botching of test results helps anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 0.1% false positivity is 2 false positives per day with those numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my field we are closely monitored to the point of annoyance and we do not have the money the NFL has, and we rarely have false positives.

Same here. Even though I've had it I still get tested on a regular basis. It sucks but I get it. I had a false negative before I re-tested positive. They still can't figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriots Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Patriots had a positive test today. With NE and Denver past their bye weeks this would mean a week 18 unless they can play Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Mondays could turn into the new Sunday. Its Oct 15th. I guess we can keep this going until teams start to double/triple there missed games. Then your looking at week 19, 20, etc. NFL should have built in more bye weeks this year. Or maybe give the whole league a two week break and take a look at where these infections are coming from. My guess is its starting off the field. Guys hanging out with friends, family, etc. Living life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a positive test result is followed up with the more accurate PCR test. They want to catch positives ASAP and separate those people from the team. Odell Beckham tested negative, but he still remains away from the facility, I saw some NFL protocol stuff earlier today that said even after a negative test if they were ill they must remain in isolation (away from the team). He did not return to practice today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did not return to practice today. Probably so. I imagine there are cost/speed issues for them. But they are a multibillion company. My googling reveals antigen $10- $50. PCR $100-200. PCR machine $5-10K. If you have 2400 tests/d x $200 that is $500K/day just for testing. They could buy the machines and technicians and do PCR. I am sure with bulk testing get the numbers down. Might cost them 20-50 million for the season. Chump change for them. Edited October 18, 2020 by purplemonster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
