Hang on a minute here . .

I've seen the following at least a dozen times at my workplace:

Person A tests positive, isolates for 7 days then returns to work.

*There is a 10 day window after incubation when they are most infectious.*

Somehow during the time before, during, and after their isolation, they fail to infect anyone else, whether it's work colleagues, close family or friends.

Is it a dozen miracles, a dozen cases of damn good luck, or a dozen cases of a false positive test

My money is on the latter
