This paragraph stands out in particular.

But data suggests that the test performs worse in the real world. Liverpool was the first city to pilot the test for mass testing of people without symptoms – about 125,000 residents took the tests between 6 November and 9 December. Of those, 897 people who did not know they had the virus tested positive. However, tests in the field missed 60% of infections in people who were self-swabbing.

Why does it stand out? It has been discussed that the accuracy of the test is dependant on being swabbed correctly and people don't.

EDIT Also give the feeling of taking part, doing your bit. Like iron railings going to make munitions in ww2.
