Amongst asymptomatic persons. Seems many people being tested are doing so not because they have symptoms, but because they assume they could be infected because they were close to someone who is. We need cheaper and faster point-of-use tests.

And better quality tests. It's not helpful to have these false-positives because it's probably wasting resources at hospitals and taking resources away from people who actually are infected.
