> Stanford reports doing a 30-person validation test with pre-COVID-19 hip surgery patients (100% negative)

Hmm - I guess I should now go to the source - but from the other link: " test validation included a total of 30+371 pre-covid blood tests, and only 399 of them came back negative." https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/04/19/fatal-flaw... - I think I trust it more

Yes, the 371 are listed on the sell sheet (see tweet above). Unclear if Stanford was involved, but I would suspect not.
