How AI startup BlueDot spotted Coronavirus before the WHO

Can anyone find any details on how often BlueDot produces false positives? Finding Coronavirus while giving out 20 false warnings a day would be a much less impressive result for example.

There are a couple of comments beneath the piece that suggest traditional news organizations (Reuters etc.) were reporting on it only hours after the 23:00 alert of BlueDot. If the AI cracked it early then they only beat reporters by hours - maybe that's significant, maybe not.

Perhaps Reuters is using BlueDot?

Could be, indeed.
