This is very interesting. The document described in the video below is available HERE. Research into state health regulations by Fog City Midge shows that new guidance for the definition of COVID-19 positive infections is likely the biggest background cause in a dramatic upswing in positive test results. WATCH:
This revelation would explain exactly why those who construct the reporting systems are pushing so hard for contact tracing. According to the new guidance anyone who comes into contact with a person who tests positive is now also considered positive. [pdf link]
Nice convenient way to inflate the infection rate. The verified source is Here
In order to support the most important political objectives of the DNC writ large in the 2020 election, COVID-19 hype is essential...

Exactly. When you have millions of cases, it’s a fool’s errand to try to do contact tracing.
The report also criticized the C.D.C.s counting of coronavirus tests, which combines tests for an active infection and those that detect antibodies. This practice inflates the percentage of Americans that appear to have been tested and gives an unreliable picture of the way the virus is spreading around the country, according to the new report.After the C.D.C. was criticized last month for combining the two types of tests in its reports, the agency promised to separate them. But as of June 9, it had still not resolved the issue, the office reported.

“Im also struck by lack of interviews with people (i.e., media reporting) who have had it, what their symptoms were and how long it lasted. Basically the kind of information you provided.
The scarcity of such information and the ease with which it could be covered seems odd to me. Why arent we being informed about these experiences with COVID 19? It just seems that the focus is entirely on numbers only.”
Because the MSM doesn’t want people to know the reality.
Re: “Purely anecdotal on my part but I dont hear anyone saying they know people who have it. Any similar observations? Just curious.”
I have the same experience.
I do not personally know even one person who has had this disease or died from it.
By the way - I live 10 miles from the Kirkland, WA, nursing home where this all started.
I have heard of a number of people who have tested positive - in the tens - I have yet to know of ANY who have had symptoms...every single one was asymptomatic, didnt know they had anything at all.
They had an issue where some states were combining the two types of tests in their case counts. I think all the states are reporting separately now.
This could inflate cases if someone was reported based on a positive PCR test and later got a antibody test, but the same thing can happen if someone gets two positive PCR tests.
The CDC acknowledges this issue but as a practical matter it's not going to account for many duplicates and it's still only going to count people who have been proven to have been infected.
It's nothing like the insane false claim that they're arbitrarily increasing the count by 17x for each positive test.
“Any similar observations? Just curious.”
I know two people who have had it, but they don’t live anywhere near us.
My county of 24K has had 31 cases, NO deaths, not even a single hospitalization from this ‘flu’ and no nursing home incidents.
We’re either doing everything right, or we’re just living our lives through a normal flu season.
(I’m saying it’s the latter!)
Contact tracing is epidemiology 101. Except for AIDS, of course, where the disease vectors are a privileged class.
I used to think so as well until I started actually separating real facts from his theories. Remember, he announces that he is right when he declares his theories proven, not necessarily when they are actually proven in fact.
Under his theories of proof, no one would ever be wrong.
Google him and read about his many times he is out to lunch.
My first circle (ie friends and relatives) no, just one person who got way back at the beginning. Second circle though (friends of first circle) yes, a few. Including deaths.

An increase in FDA Approved positive lab IgG or IgM test is very good news, as it represents an increase in "herd immunity" which is nature's way of protecting humans from viruses.
I think I have had it twice now.
Didden amount to nuttin.
This is very annoying. For research purposes, definitions and such should remain considered. Seems there is a lot of subjectivity going on.
I can say the same. Don’t know anyone who has it. The funny thing is, 3000 people died on 911 and it was common to run into someone who was directly affected.
With covid, 10s of thousands supposedly affected and nobody knows anybody?
Here is a preliminary report related to testing HCQ, zinc, and Azithromycin, versus HCQ and Azithromycin without zinc. Many intelligent comments strongly supportive of the importance of using zinc with an ionophore like Hydroxychloroquine. Also how unfortunate that in many ways zinc has been ignored or sidelined rather than used. So far as I’m concerned their arguments also apply in many ways to failure to use VItamins C and D3 in EARLY treatment, as well as for immunity support.

Of course there was contact tracing for HIV, just as there has been for tuberculosis and syphilis. GIven that there were criminal laws regarding gay behavior in the early days it was more difficult to trace than more recently when in addition to the change in many laws, there is also successful long term treatment. One of the ways that S. Korea achieved rapid results was with aggressive contact tracing. When I Googled contact tracing for HIV, there were a lot of articles. Below is one sample:
https://www.aclu.org/news/hiv/contact-tracing-and-covid-19-lessons-from-hiv/
Who else will be reporting this besides conservative outlets? no one
A LOT of people.
This article was actually sent to me by someone NOT on FR.
They also shared it with people who are pretty much apolitical.
Are you arguing with the actual merits of the information contained in the article, or, that its CTH?
The drive by hit, on CTH, is unbecoming.
Geez.
Oh, and welcome to FR, btw.
I remember that in the early days of the HIV outbreak, public health authorities initially moved to treat it like any other communicable disease. This would include routine contact tracing. There was furious pushback from both of the primary risk groups and many public health officials pulled back. This was at the same time that the homosexual community was going ballistic about the proposed closing of the gay bath houses in New York, San Francisco and other hotspots. The IV drug users were not as publicly outspoken as the gay community, but their “privacy advocates” were active. The Reagan administration also came in for severe bashing because of its allegedly cruel and stigmatizing effort to do contact tracing. I’m sure that’s what a lot of people here will remember; turning AIDS into a political issue and making it an offensive weapon against people trying to do the right thing is the kind of thing that will leave an enduring memory. I presume that this all got sorted out in the end, but a lot of people died unnecessarily because the primary risk groups were more interested in protecting and pursuing their addictions than in public health. Contact tracing probably got easier once the older generation of bath house regulars had mostly died off. That didn’t take too long. The successor generation was newer at the game and its habits were less deeply rooted.
