I posted the stats on how reliable influenza tests are.
Pretty sure that test is not testing for Influenza A or B..and here are the stats for those tests
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/diagnosis/rapidlab.htm
btw, people who are quarantined after having been on a virus ship are going to get more than just a rapid flu test
more like a molecular assay..but perhaps a Dr can actually clarify
Molecular testing is recommended for all hospitalized patients with suspected influenza.

Seems like good news. I guess.
It’s the same test but why don’t you just believe whatever you like. How about that?
Coronavirus is not Influenza A or B. Why would it be the same test?
Don’t you think a doctor in communist China would be purposely downplaying the risk as opposed to amplifying it?
Oh I’m sorry, are there certain establishments we aren’t allowed to frequent? I take it you are not an Amazon user?
Question:
One more technical question. Have you determined whether there are any variants of this virus so that a person who may have gotten it and then gotten over it, could get it again?
Dr Fauci:
No, there’s no indication that that’s going on at all. If this virus acts like other viruses, which I have no reason to believe it won’t, once you’ve gotten infected and recovered, you’re not going to get infected with the same virus.
What?
I posted info on a flu test. You posted info on a flu test. The same flu test.
It was a joke.
In this case it was a Dr trying to get the information out. Much like the Dr who initially tried to get info out to the public despite the govt and who ended up dead from the virus.
There are health care workers that have been trying to get info out to the world despite their Commie regime who could decide to kill them.
My theory is that it is simply something that occurs when you have been infected. It comes back sometimes. The tests are unreliable of course it’s new. but we will get better at identifying it, which we are. The meds will be along shortly... but in the meantime prepare, pray and pray again.
Sorry,I thought you meant the test for the virus was an Influenza test.
It is a different test. Different results. etc.
And once you are in the hospital you will notice they recommend using a different test than the 95% specificity test rapid test.
Exactly. I was quarantined back in the early 40s......announced in school and a big Q sign on the front door.
Aspirin a cause of death?
So sort of like a shingles type of thing that you get it again because it is in your body...(but perhaps not a life long worry that it will flair up 20 years from now).. rather than you are recovered cured and you caught it again because you were around it again.
I think way too much is unknown on this. I think it is still in your body despite negative test..and you could be shedding it .
Not sure if the molecular assay test would be negative if it was still in your body but that is far above my knowledge.
When you are in a military hospital in Japan they are not going to release you just on some basic rapid test saying you are cured
There is some heavy duty evidence that you are cured before they you let go to Israel.
So it is curious as to how he suddenly got sick again.Btw, the guy who got it again is the brother of someone who also had it and was at that hospital., IIRC.
Preparations are already being made to close some schools. Not all, but some.
Might be a myth..might not
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/ten-myths-about-1918-flu-pandemic-180967810/
No specific anti-viral therapies were available during the 1918 flu. That’s still largely true today, where most medical care for the flu aims to support patients, rather than cure them.
One hypothesis suggests that many flu deaths could actually be attributed to aspirin poisoning. Medical authorities at the time recommended large doses of aspirin of up to 30 grams per day. Today, about four grams would be considered the maximum safe daily dose. Large doses of aspirin can lead to many of the pandemic’s symptoms, including bleeding.
However, death rates seem to have been equally high in some places in the world where aspirin was not so readily available, so the debate continues.
