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?

That is a good question. It should have been made clear by now.

I was talking to my oldest son today about what’s going on, and he reminded me that one of his cats caught a corona virus several years ago that ended up causing heart problems.

Yes, that is why there was a delay in testing for this specific one. They are testing for and reporting COVID-19 only.

I got tested for flu today. But not Covid-19. Different test required for the Red Death plague.

Well, another way to put it would be do other coronaviruses cause false positive results in the test specific for this one.

do you really think all the quarantining of people everywhere and China dragging them off into camps and welding them into houses because the common cold might cause a positive test?

Yes they are based on a unique genetic sequencing that is built into the test materials

That is part of the reason some of this took so long o make sure there are no false positives

And last it is not a death sentence nor as virulent as other viruses that preceded it. It is eminently survivable and not what many here try to spread as Pandemic Pimps spreading misinformation

Double Agents they are

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

I do not underestimate the lengths to which the left will go to gain power. This is not a particularly effective virus as far as killing people. But people are nervous and the economy grinds to a stop. It’s what they’ve been praying for.

W.C. Fields(landing in Wu-Hu China): “And where am I?”
Pretty girl: “Wu-hu.”
Fields(smiling): “And woo hoo yo you too my dear. Now, where am I?”
Hotel manager, not smiling: “WU-HU!”

Fields looks shocked then down at the flower in his lapel, grabs and crushes the flower): “DON’T LET THE POSY FOOL YOU MY FRIEND!”
