(So, how much is my time researching this worth? I used Google, so I'm guessing the 3/4 of an hour would amount to a certain amount of cookies. 🍪 🙃 🍪 )

 This quote below is from another group that I occasionally participate with.
It is worth reading twice and though written over 30 years ago about AIDS it
is interesting to understand how it deals with COVID testing.  I had heard
similar analysis in a NY Times article two months ago, but it is non-obvious
and should be read a few times.

 

" I found this transcription of a talk by Cohen
<http://lab.rockefeller.edu/cohenje/PDFs/162StatConceptsAIDSSymposiumStatSci
IndustryPublPolicy1989.pdf>  which covers this and a few other topics, and I
thought the technique, 'randomized response', was pretty clever. Cohen
attributes it to Fiddler and Kleinknecht, "Randomized Response versus Direct
Questioning", a paper which Google failed to deliver to me."
