Arre, that Bayes theorem shows even if you test positive, the chance you actually have a rare disease is still small, like maybe only 50% if the test isn't perfect. I know this *because* I panicked last month when my malaria test was positive, but the doctor calmly asked, "How many malaria cases have we seen this season, *kai re*?" The maths said 'vhodlem', but my heart was racing like I'd missed the last bus to Tivim.
