“ quantum physics is now confirming what has been known intuitively for thousands of years . . all things are connected on the smallest level by the unified field ., molecules, atoms, subatomic particles, quarks, and super strings lie one unifying field from which all emerges . .

People are mixing up analytical sens/spec with clinical sens/spec. And translate "clinical" sens/spec in a lab-setting to real-world.
This has implications for the discussions we have about the accuracy of a test.
A #dta 🧵
Analytical sensitivity is how much (or how little) of a certain compound can be measured.
E.g. in blood, what is the lowest glucose concentration or lowest concentration of antibodies to be detected?

Analytical specificity is about the absence of cross-reactivity.
E.g. Does my/
Influenza - antigen test remain negative in samples with other viruses?

This does translate, but is not similar to diagnostic accuracy, as assessed in a lab.

If I have 100 samples of which I am certain that they contain virus particles, how many of those test positive?
