This is a long read but very worthwhile.

Have you ever considered what, exactly, constitutes a Covid-19 diagnosis?

Or, what about HIV? Have you ever even given it a thought as to how these cases are diagnosed?

Did you know that in one country after testing a person might be considered HIV positive and in another country, same test, same result, they'd be negative?

And what, exactly constitutes a test?

These questions and more are discussed in this amazingly informative article.

It depends on what the meaning of “is” is.

[ifinnegan]

Too much extraneous crap.

NO !

It's entire purpose was to be a vehicle for numbers ..

('lectic'ly they keep a baseball score)

.. because America is hooked on media and media knows how to say their numbers, but they have to have a platform from which to manipulate the populace.

Witness now an increase in "testing" translates into an increase in "cases" which subliminally is refracted as "deaths'

Too many Americans are public school "educated" and don't (can't) read English well enough to understand when we're being hustled.

look up the word "refract" ... I learned it in the 7th grade and I'm 72.

“We have an immune system that is a miracle like The Sistine Chapel. It withstands toxic, microbial inundation on a grand scale at all times, while operating a super-highway of adaptive life-sustaining genetic information, on cellular bridges, emitting telegrams of vital evolutionary code, slandered as “viruses” or “retroviruses.””

Oh, I see. So the author thinks viruses are not real? Or not dangerous?

Alright, I’ll give her views a fair hearing. AFTER she injects herself with a hypodermic needle full of HIV-tainted blood.

This article needs to be studied, not merely read.

You know what, I DID wonder what constitutes a COVID-19 diagnosis, so I looked it up. The PCR test looks for viral proteins specific to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Here's the more technical verbiage:

"RT-qPCR based assays designed to amplify SARS-CoV-2-specific sequences are the primary method currently used for detection of active infections. Tests are available targeting various unique SARS-CoV-2 sequences in the N, E, S and RdRp sequences (3,10). RT-qPCR tests that use two or more targets are likely to have higher specificity."(https://www.promega.com/applications/virus-detection-assay-coronavirus-detection-covid-19-sars-cov-2/sars-cov-2-covid-serology-testing-pcr-testing/)

And while I know we've all seen the generic "coronavirus" graphics, here's an actual SARS-CoV-2 specific graphic:

And here is what actual SARS-CoV-2 viruses actually look like in an electron microscope:

My sister sent these to me today. Maybe not true, but very interesting:

“Nurses at a hospital doing covid testing became suspicious when all their tests were coming back positive. They sent 2 tests with unused swabs and they came back positive. Nurses used fake names, sent 10 unused swabs to be tested and all came back positive.We are being played!”

Also:
“Somebody reported scheduling a test thru CVS, but they didn’t go to the appointment. Couple days later, imagine their surprise when they got a positive test result in the mail.”

.....What do we mean when we say somebody has ‘tested positive’...

perhaps some kind FReeper would
write down
what the answer is.

thanks in advance

Wow, that was a fascinating read... I would have loved to meet the creator of the PCR and pick his brain. What a shame.

Thanks for posting possibly, the best article published on the testing realities or not so much testing realities of Corona 19!

Warning to those, who might read this, if you are not prepared to have your beliefs up to now re Corona 19 and testing for it shredded, then don’t read it.

If you feel like many of us, that we have been lied to and misled on this virus since we heard about it in mid march. Set aside about 30 minutes just to get into the article.

Many of the CV19 cows sacred cows are turned into hamburger if one reads this summary with an open mind.

You also, may have Deja vu moments re the bs surrounding the AIDS epidemic and many of same actors/medical experts as various so called scientific levels are unmasked in this article and this Corona 19 Virus.

I will return after 5:30 pm, after about half of my evening glass of wine has been taken to ease the mental unease, released by this article.

Warning, this article may destroy what you think you might know about CV 19 and the testing for CV 19.

If you don’t feel mislead, manipulated and abused by the Corona 19 BSers after reading this, I am sorry that I wasted your time. Please return to where you were,

[NorthWoody]

The only person I’ve ever known named “Mame” is long dead. She incorrectly spelled it “Mamie” though. What an idiot, huh?

Either way, every time I see your user name it brings back fond memories.

Thanks for posting this. There is nothing real, honest, or above-board about any of this.

Kerry makes some good points, but, RT-PCR was the only way to detect the presence of Covid initially. We weren't going to be able to develop a sensitive and accurate antibody test quickly. We weren't going to ‘culture’ virus from patients.

Yes, the presence of Covid sequences doesn't necessarily translate into the presence of viable viral particles, but it does document the presence of Covid sequences. It was the best we could do early on.

This is the kind of stuff people with schizotypal personality disorder ramble on about. Not the same as schizoid, not the same as schizophrenic. One day spouting off about viruses, the next about Bigfoot.
