I see stories like this constantly:

It's sometimes someone driving to a testing site and then leaving the line. If that's true and they're not rechecking your personal information at the swab, it's unsettling because then everyone's results are now off-by-one (or more).

There are other cases where people have been told they have COVID after never even having been in line for a test. Not that they might have it via contact tracing, but that they tested positive from a test they never took (or got in line for).

Not to mention there was the cast of a Goat and an Orange testing positive in Tanzania:

What is going on with these tests?

You see stories like this constantly because salacious stories like this grab eyeballs.

The actual incidence of this kind of error is incredibly small.
