Experts, answer me this. Whenever I find myself in a discussion on the risk or incidence of false positive results from corona PCR tests, someone will mention New Zealand. They point out that, for months, New Zealand has done tens of thousands of PCR tests and not gotten a single positive result. Thus, their argument is that there is practically 0 chance of a false positive from a corona PCR. If the test wasn't 100% specific, there should have been hundreds of false positives in NZ. Debunk.
