Need to give it a day on the Pouncey news. Anyone on the list today would come from a positive POC test which has an 80% accuracy rate. Could be a false positive. 

If there are ~50 players taking that test and it has an 80% accuracy rate, we should have seen roughly 10 false positives no?

I mean that’s not exactly how it works. It’s too small of a sample size to perfectly correlate. 
 

More works of there’s a 20% chance that the positive test is actually negative. Happened with a few players this year so far.
