WSJ has an article today saying that tests being used in the US has a 1/3 false negative rate.  Article is paywalled--I just saw a snippet. https://www.wsj.com/articles/questions-a..._lead_pos3

The Chinese test supposedly has a high false-negative rate, too.  https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/well/...ative.html  A quick search did not turn up any comparable numbers for the WHO test.

I realize that false negatives don't necessarily make a test useless.  But if we are going to get to the containment phase, it will be important to have a good test.
