From reports, the Chinese tests have fairly high false negatives, but they’re still deploying them en masse because catching as much as is possible better than not catching anything at all. I’ve seen nothing on false positives.

Yeah at the end of the day it seems by far the best outcome. I'm just thinking there may be some sort of red tape surrounding the liability aspects of that outcome. Like maybe there's a waiver of liability for passing a sick person off as healthy, except it only applies to such and such equipment, etc. I'm just using my imagination here, I have no experience in the medical industry.
