“The anti-body tests they are running are crap, there are even serious epidemiologists saying they’re practically random, they don’t work.”

Yep.

There is a FReeper that likes to post feel-good stories to disguise the fact that he is a FluBro. Every so often he’ll try to slip in some FluBro propaganda. The reports about there being 40 to 50 times as many cases as we thought there were was one such. It was based on one study using a flawed antibody test that was only 90% accurate, but also gave positives for other corona viruses, many of which were mild and resulted in symptoms on par with the common cold (also a corona virus).

So everybody that took the test now thinks they had COVID-19 even if all they had was some other, lesser bug. Great. Wonder who that chaos will benefit.

The links to the study don’t work now. It has been taken down. Clearly it was terribly flawed. Some people will use any garbage they can to advance their agenda, no matter who they put at risk.

“There ARE NOT tons of people running around out there that have already had it and showed no symptoms.”

That’s right. We know the breakdown of case severities from the Diamond Princess where everybody was tested multiple times (or at least until they tested positive). The numbers from DP have been reported from other places, close enough to confirm the distribution. At this point, people trying to claim there is anything approaching herd immunity is verging on delusional. Given the number of confirmed cases there are, at most, 16-17 million infected, 3/4 of whom are still incubating. That’s on the no-mitigation curve, so with all the mitigation, and in spite of the FluBros, that number should really be much, much lower.

There is no herd of immunes.

Frontline over. Pretty negative program. No interviews of people like the owner of Summit Racing.

Wonder how many of the reprehensible ones were really antifa.

A little technical analysis below. Hopefully tomorrow the numbers will start back down. Deaths seem to lag cases by approximately 14 days, on average.

Facebook probably censored the claim because the French govt just put out an officially official statement, along with their own researcher contradicting Monty:

“...an official at France President Emmanuel Macron’s office said:
We would like to make it clear that there is to this day no factual evidence corroborating the information recently circulating in the United States press that establishes a link between the origins of COVID-19 and the work of the P4 laboratory of Wuhan, China...

.. The recent comments made by Montagnier triggered criticism from other scientists. As per AFP, a virologist from Institut Pasteur in Paris, Etienne Simon-Loriere, said that the claims about the origin of the virus didn’t make sense as there were very small elements found in other Coronaviruses too. “If we take a word from a book and it looks like another word, can we say that one has copied from the other?” the virologist asked.

I wonder what Yuen Kwok-yung, the HK researcher mentioned in the article who said there was nothing to worry about, thinks now...

Remember the woman who only went out a few times but got infected?

“The epidemiologist traced her exposure back to the keypad she used at the pharmacy. “
https://www.khou.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/doctor-solves-mystery-of-charlotte-woman-who-tested-positive-for-covid-19-after-claiming-she-never-left-the-house/285-b2d53e36-21dd-44e4-8d52-3bb017a8a29a

Wow! Sanitize after that keypad use, or at least wash your hands!
