is something we were worried about, the ability for droplets to hang out in space. we used to talk about what it showed, what droplets are doing every time we talk in different sizes. just general loud speech can have them linger in the air for up to eight minutes. this is something to think about. you're in an enclosed space or an elevator or a stairwell or bathroom. so we all have to be extra cautious. >> the rapid covid-19 test used at the white house made by abbott, a preliminary study from new york university found that the test may miss 48% of positive cases. again, it's an early study. needs more review but that is a big number, and abbott's spokesperson responded saying these results are not consistent with other studies. my question for you considering this is the test used by the president of the united states and other leaders in the u.s. government, are you concerned by these results? >> i'm definitely concerned because even if the test results -- the study was not

done perfectly and the transport medium had some inherent error, 48% is a high number. previous studies showed it from 10% to 15%. what it tells us we already knew some people may test negative and then positive because of the sample itself might not have enough viral particle in it. but this is telling us that a machine that we're reare really relying on to get us rapid tests could generate a higher number of false negatives than we thought. a lot of false reassurance. it wasn't peer reviewed. abbott is looking into it. more scientists will and hopefully get a better sense what this negative rate is going to be. i don't think anyone expects it to be zero but need to have a clear idea of what we're working with. >> our thanks to dr. patel. and coming up, no fans, no problem. the plan to make sure stadiums are still loud when games resume. also ahead, how the navy is using a water park to fight coronavirus. thousands of women with metastatic breast cancer,
