Which coronavirus are they testing for? (Vanity)
Vanity | March 18, 2020 | Me

We've known about coronavirus since the 1960s.

The coronaviruses HCoV-229E, -NL63, -OC43, and -HKU1 continually circulate in the human population and cause respiratory infections in adults and children world-wide.

Do the test differentiate between the wuhan and the numerous other coronas?

The only way you need to help me is to go back to bible study and leave me alone. Why do you need to haunt threads, like a malignant pile of crap?

Yes. The tests were very unreliable for a while. “Six negatives then a positive a week later.”


The newer tests still have that effect. The problem is that there isn’t enough of the viral material in the mucus of the nose and throat early on. They have, however found a nearly 100% rate of testing positive for the virus in stool from the moment people come down with the disease.

I take that to mean you don’t know what a false positive is.

By the way, since you bring up the Bible, it seems you’re stuck in the antiquated belief that science and the Bible are either incompatible or somehow contradictory.

The most cutting edge thinkers like Ravi Zacharias, Stephen C. Meyer, David Berlinski, Thomas Nagel, William Lane Craig, Frank Turek, and countless others have been able to break through the entrenched and erroneous thinking laid down by Rousseau, Hume, Kant, Freud, Marx, Darwin and so many more.

Let go of your dogma.

I’m assuming you’ve given up on learning about the principle of false positive test results. (It’s not hard, so come on.)

Of course I understand what a false positive it.

I asked you to not talk to me. You are an idiot. Please don’t ever expect a response again. I am asking politely.

You have the right to ask me not to post to you.

But you should realize that if you jump into the middle of a conversation shouting insults uninvited, a response is likely. This is what you did here.

The whole point is that false positives are what the deep state is hoping for. Part of their plan is to get mass testing for this corona virus. False positive means lots of people will think they have it when they really don’t.

Stop falling for the deep state narratives!

Seeing a lot of false positives are we?

Who is making stuff up from whole cloth now?

You are honestly delusional if you don’t see the seriousness of this.

By the way...are you ever going to answer my question? Would you sit next to someone at work if you knew they were positive. If this is such BS, your answer is yes. But, since you are not a complete feeble minded idiot, your answer is of course you wouldn’t. If that is the case, why would you expect anyone else to? And who is going to pay for that treatment?

So..answer the question.

You mean the question that prompted your tantrum in the first place?

Ther following is the question from post #9, which I posted to someone else (and then you jumped in with, I must say, a very poor attitude, which soon accelerated):

“Do other coronaviruses cause false positive results in the test specific for this one?”

So tell me, where does all your anger come from?

The answer to your question, for the third time, is that they should not. The reagent for this test is specific to this virus.

Now, please leave me alone. It’s Sunday morning. Shouldn’t you be dragging your old rear end to church? Snuggle in close.

And just dry up and return to ashes.

But most tests are not 100% accurate.

Seems to me a scientist should think in this way—what if common cold coronaviruses cause a reaction in the test because they are very similar in structure to this particular coronavirus?

And pertaining to our discussion, why does a good and thoughtful question like this send you into a rage?
