Ohio Will Stop Verifying Antigen Tests, Count Them All Positive
The Ohio Star ^ | December 8, 2020 | Jack Windsor

....Monday’s announcement eliminates that verification step going forward.

After understanding more about antigen tests, the CDC changed their definition in August. As a result, antigen tests, according to the CDC, could be included in case counts without additional verification,” said DeWine. He continued “we will begin reflecting those tests immediately in our daily reported case counts, moving forward.

Currently, there is a 12,600-test backlog that will hit the positive column tomorrow. DeWine said the backlogged cases would be assigned an onset date, that not all of them would end up being positive and that it will result in a one-day artificial spike.

The Governor said the change comes after health officials significantly increased the use of antigen tests since November 1 and have tried to keep up with the corresponding higher number of positives – increasing from “approximately 332 per day to an average of 725 per day.”...

So basically the tests will be counted as indicating a positive case whether or not a testee reports having symptoms or having been in contact with someone who had the dread virus 'rona.

You can’t have COVID-19 if you don’t get a test.

“a one-day artificial spike”

With no one dying of anything but Covid now, and all the toying with numbers, seems the spike has been going on for 9 months or so.

Count them more than once. Scan them more than once.

Big fake COVID spikes. Big fake ballot spikes.

They stuff the COVID case count like they stuff the ballot box.

The two are related. There’s no doubt about it.

And the cold, heart attacks, pneumonia and lung cancer...etc

I’ve had a cold the last few days...I refuse to get tested because I already know how I will test.

I’ll stay away from work for a couple of days, instead of 10 and be right back at it.

And no, I can not claim sick pay.

I won’t test....evuh!

Initially I thought the testing would prove how undeadly this contrived pandemic is but, testing positive only furthers their ends

Anyone remotely connected to anything called “public health” can now only be considered a scam artist, charlatan, and liar.

Same as anyone remotely connected to the term Democrat and 95% of those connected to Republican.

Oh, my bad, I almost forgot Satan’s disciple here on earth, the Pope.

May they all suffer in life and rot in hell.

Only 26% of Republicans would vote for DeWine in a primary. Where are the articles of impeachment? I hope they included Husted. He’s a moron too.

Well, that's great. They're not even trying to hide their manipulation of the numbers anymore.

Take the test and everybody gets a positive. Now they can push for longer and more severe lockdowns, mask wearing and social distancing.

Why not just skip the testing altogether. If everyone is going to test positive, why even have the test to begin with?

My wife told me a friend of hers made an appointment to go take the test but changed her mind and never went in.

A week later, she got a letter in the mail saying she had tested positive for the corona virus.

if would be nice to be able to see how many cases are “found” thru contact tracing...as opposed to how many people come in to see their doc or go to the ER with symptoms....
