In response to my question to Dr Horberg regarding PCR wrong negative test results & underestimates of Long COVID & findings, he said
"We do not. The issue would be folks who don't seek care but have symptoms. But we don't think that's differential between COVID+ and COVID-. And while some may fear false negatives about COVID testing, frankly given the prevalence of COVID at the time of this study (2020) in the DMV area, I don't think we have false negatives to a significant extent."
