False negatives 30%? Where do you get that from?

I just googled false negative results and the 30% estimate is now looking out of date with something around 8% thought to be more likely now. On the flip side, false positive results are estimated to apply to something like 0.8% of tests.

So the system, by those figures, identifies 10 times as many as falsely negative than it identifies as falsely positive.
