Barely any? Isn't that like "mostly dead" from Princess Bride? "Barely any" is "some" and the test finds it. It might not be enough to be infectious... yet. But it still is "really positive" and not a "false positive". Without multi-day tracking of viral load you wouldn't know if it is someone who is getting sick, just getting over it, or as sick as they are going to get because their body fights it well.
No one gets out of here alive. People die every day. How many people have died from COVID-19? Certainly not 180,000. Probably a heck of a lot less.
Is the virus “real”?
Are people “dying from COVID”?
The answer is “yes” but it’s not a good answer because it glosses over how completely unecessary the shutdown has been. And people knew this from the beginning. This whole thing is about politics, not virology.

Dr. Mina is starting to get a lot of traction with this..
How many people die each year from accidental falls?
How many from car accidents?
How many from accidental electrocution?
How many from any OTHER common virus?
Probably as many as have died from this Covid alone...
It’s a hyped phony pandemic.
But they had to justify using the two million dead meme to scare the bm out of us, to throw millions out of work, and to close thousands of businesses.
We now can sue for damages. Stores unjustly thrown out of business. Property owners prevented from getting their rent by an unjust decree.
BTTT!!
Utterly irrelevant. It works.
The problem with PCR is that it can't be done on the cheap like this because you need fastidious laboratory technique from collection of sample through laboratory handling and to the interpretation of results to ensure that the results are reliable, that you have not contaminated your sample etc.
I am amazed that anyone thought you could make this work with a cheap and quick test.
Did you read the article?
Yeah, it's a complete mystery why the Slimes would do that just before the election...
“problem starts because what the PCR test is designed to find is NOT the COVID-19 virus.”
This article veers off course and goes around in circles after this line.
“problem starts because what the PCR test is designed to find is NOT the COVID-19 virus.”
Exactly. PCR is an irreplaceable tool, but all it does is give you data that is subject to all sorts of further questions? Was the sample taken correctly? Was the collection process contaminated? Is the laboratory clean? Is the result repeated by an independent laboratory using independent methods and equipment? Does the result make sense? [e.g. 2 million asymptomatic cases suggests all kinds of scientific issues].
I do think the government (at state and local level) has unconstitutionally deprived people of the use of their property. Little $1200 checks are not enough to undo the damage to landlords and small business owners.
Probably no more than 15,000 people have died from the virus directly. That’s A FLU SEASON. Certainly did not justify the HELL we’ve put the country through.
I'm sick of hearing the daily reports of new infections without an accompanying report of how many of them have little or no symptoms at all.
It DOES NOT WORK. Liar. My wife is a scientist. Bring on your counter arguments. You don’t have any.
This was basically IGNORED a while back when CHAMPUS (for Military retirees- the FREE lifetime benefits...hmm) revealed a ‘slight mistake’ of 600 THOUSAND misreads on the beerflu
600 THOUSAND is not a mistake, it is damn near a CRIMINAL act.
You can have your product but you can only choose two - cheap, quick, good.
CANCEL CULTURE ALERT "We have a free-thinker!"
We keep hearing about virus clusters, on sports teams in particular lately, but I don’t recall ever hearing that those “clusters” turned into clusters of people actually getting sick. After this news, I wonder if many of these are just clusters of positive tests that were triggered by incidental levels of the virus being present.
