According to Dr. Birx, the tests are 50/50 https://youtu.be/j0Oc3ELZZ0w?t=5548
She's attempting to explain how Bayes's theorem applies to their Covid test, and completely sucking at it. I listened to her mangle it 5 times before I had to work it out for myself. The funny thing is that if everyone understood what she is saying the public would be MORE pissed off than they are. If only 1% of the population are infected (don't ask me how they know this), and you give a test to a suspected infected person, the odds are 50/50 that the result of their test will be accurate. In other words, you might as well flip a coin and save your money on the test. These "experts" are imbeciles. (and this outcome is based on their figures). What's even MORE hilarious is that I refuse to believe that the infection rate is 1% - do we have around 3.3 million infected in the US? And if the true number of infected is smaller than their 1% guess, well guess what? The odds of the test giving you the wrong answer are HIGHER than 50% - meaning it's WORSE than random! Hahahahahahahahahaha. It means that you're actually STUPID for performing the test because you end up having less reliable data than you did before!
