US may turn to more 'pooled testing' as COVID-19 spreads


Pooled testing involves taking the nasal or throat swabs from several people and placing those samples into one tube to test for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. If that pooled sample comes back positive, samples included in the pool must then be retested one by one, to pinpoint the infected individuals.

But if the pooled sample comes back negative, no additional testing is needed for that group of individuals.

... So even if there is 1 positive, won't that 1 sample contaminate all samples and they will all come back positive????

What the actual fuck
 Quoting: Vegz

The theory is: you say 1000 tests in one tube. If it is negative, you have saved performing 999 tests. If it is positive you have to perform 999 tests.

Or they may just increase the positive cases count by 1000 and call it good...
