Since they won’t let me travel to the US by any means unvaccinated, PCR tests are a thing of the past for me. Prior, if I wanted to go, it was a necessary evil and the biggest price I was willing to pay. Even at 45 cycles, there was no trace of coronavirus in my body. I credit prophylactic IVM for that. I’m waiting for Biden to lift the vaccination requirement to enter by car. If any of you have influence, I’d appreciate you using it. I’d be very good for your economy.
The swab can only detect the presence of CORONA virus in your nasal passages.
It is NOT a diagnostic tool.
This is why I would recommend taking an inhaler (H2O2 + AG or ZN) and using it right before they swab you.
This combination breaks up the lipid envelope, deconstructing the virus into its RNA parts.
The swab is like looking at a car windshield for bird poop to determine if there are birds \inside\ your car.
