The statement actually refers to the original 1%, so it's giving a way of giving compound percentages (80% of 1% vs. 80 out of 10,000). Hi Matteo, thanks for the comment.

I think I spotted an error in this article, though. When you say: "”Of those 100, 80 will test positive” rather than “80% of the 1% will test positive”).", you probably wanted to say: "rather than '80% of the 100% will test positive'".

When you say:

“”Of those 100, 80 will test positive” rather than “80% of the 1% will test positive”).”,

you probably wanted to say: “rather than ‘80% of the 100% will test positive’”.
