President queries Tanzania coronavirus kits after goat test
FTA: May 3, 2020 :: DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - Coronavirus test kits used in Tanzania were dismissed as faulty by President John Magufuli on Sunday, because he said they had returned positive results on samples taken from a goat and a pawpaw.
The COVID-19 testing kits had been imported from abroad, Magufuli said during an event in Chato in the north west of Tanzania, although he did not give further details.
The president said he had instructed Tanzanian security forces to check the quality of the kits. They had randomly obtained several non-human samples, including from a pawpaw, a goat and a sheep, but had assigned them human names and ages.
These samples were then submitted to Tanzania’s laboratory to test for the coronavirus, with the lab technicians left deliberately unaware of their origins.
Samples from the pawpaw and the goat tested positive for COVID-19, the president said, adding this meant it was likely that some people were being tested positive when in fact they were not infected by the coronavirus.
Great catch on the pawpaw testing positive. I’d forgotten about that!
We all knew a pawpaw testing positive was ridiculous, but now I’m wondering if Magufuli KNEW it was bogus because he knew pawpaws contain those ingredients?
I remember that very astute Tanzanian President! Who knew goats and pawpaws could have covid...
Re: pawpaw in Q drop
Ding ding, we have a winner! And Tanzania’s President John Magufuli curiously enough died on March 17 2021, in uncertain and rumor-fueled circumstances. Someone didn’t like what he was exposing about those coof tests!
