The devil may be in the details. E.g. if a COVID test shows negative, it doesn't mean that you can't spread it. This is partly because different tests have different sensitivities.

Ahh, the classic corona fallacy. If you have something, X, which you cannot detect. Then you can count it as zero, since all you can do, is speculation not backed by any empirical evidence. If there is something you can detect and measure, then, we can start the great a mighty process of science.
