    A true positive is when a person who is infected receives a positive test (someone whose test comes back positive but who doesn't really have the infection would be called a false positive).

    A symbolic way to represent the probability of a true positive would be the infection detected divided by the total of all the options:

    D / (I + U + D + N)
