In this video, we’re going to talk about COVID-19 and false negative testing. There was recently a study published by John-Hopkins, and there seem to many concerns with the data.

When you have a false negative when testing for COVID-19, this means that the test says you do not have the coronavirus when you are actually infected.

Here are the chances of the coronavirus being detected on a COVID-19 test:
Day 1: 0%
Day 4: 33%
Day 5: 62% (First symptoms occur around day 5)
Day 8: 80%
Day 21: 34%

During day 5-8, you will have the highest chance of an accurate test. However, most people do not get tested until they’ve started having more severe symptoms, which is between day 10 and day 21. This means the accuracy of these tests will be low when most people are tested.
