Do they throw away the blood if you’re positive?
Pssst they will test you for teh AIDSes too!
Note: “Replication-Competent virus” = Alive virus, capable of injuring patient or infecting someone else. “Non Replication-competent virus” = dead virus, can’t hurt or infect anyone. What’s left after your immune system kills the virus. Also called, “fragments.”
Big:
“4. Although replication-competent virus was not isolated 3 weeks after symptom onset, recovered patients can continue to have SARS-CoV-2 RNA detected in their upper respiratory specimens for up to 12 weeks…”
Translation: They couldn’t cultivate live virus from anyone in a lab 3 weeks after first symptom. But PCR can (and will!) show positive for 3 months(!)
Read that again. This is the CDC talking, not some “conspiracy theory!” website. Ironclad proof. The CDC is saying PCR tests are worthless!!! All those “Positive Cases!” used to justify lockdowns, masks, economic ruin, cancellation of the RNC Nomination Rally, everything, is based on false positives from people who are most definitely NOT SICK!
“3. A large contact tracing study demonstrated that high-risk household and hospital contacts did not develop infection if their exposure to a case patient started 6 days or more after the case patient’s illness onset (Cheng et al., 2020).”
Translation: You can’t infect anyone in real life 6 days after symptom onset.
“6. Currently, 6 months after the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, there have been no confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection.”
Translation: If you get it once, YOU ARE IMMUNE FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS!!!
“Assessment… Available data indicate that persons with mild to moderate COVID-19 remain infectious no longer than 10 days after symptom onset…
…Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 has not yet been definitively confirmed in any recovered persons to date.”
In Florida, up to 80% of drive-through PCR "positive cases" are asymptomatic. According to the above article, recovered (not sick, not contagious) people can continue to show positive PCR for 12 WEEKS!
It also says immunity is real, at least for 6 months. Put it all together and you have:
As much as 80% of "Positive Cases!" are actually IMMUNE PEOPLE, who can't transmit the virus and are NOT sick!!!
I’ve been saying this for weeks. PCR cannot distinguish between live virus from a sick person, and dead virus from a long recovered person. Just websearch, “PCR test dead virus” (no quotes), see for yourself!
This is a giant scandal!!! And now the CDC agrees that: 1. For asymptomatic, mild, or moderate illness, you can’t infect anyone after 10 days, period. 2. At that point, people are immune for at least 6 months. 3. PCR test is worthless as after 3 weeks of first symptoms (if any!), you can test positive for another 3 months when you are NOT sick. False positives for 3 months.
Red Cross Statement on Updated FDA Donor Eligibility Criteria due to Pandemic
April 2, 2020 — The American Red Cross issued the following statement regarding updated FDA guidance to address the urgent need for blood during the pandemic:
“The American Red Cross is pleased that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated its eligibility guidance regarding men who have sex with men, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) or “mad cow” and malaria. These changes will potentially allow more individuals to donate and help ensure blood collection organizations across the country continue to meet patient needs throughout this pandemic and beyond.
They won’t take mine because of blood thinners
I used to give regularly
I gave blood on Friday and there wasn’t anything unusual (other than having my temperature taken before I could enter and having to wear a face mask). So if they tested me for Covid antibodies I wasn’t aware of it—perhaps they ran a test on the blood in one of the little tubes they fill up at the end.
Nobody has wanted my blood for 30 years due to living in Europe before “mad cow” was controlled.
Great. Can’t donate because I lived in Europe during Mad Cow.
Then they report you to the CDC for quarantine and contact tracing.
And a free DNA profile donated to CODIS.
I am ineligible to donate blood. Would if I could.
The info you shared from the Red Cross source are puzzling and concerning to me. At best, this analytical test would seems like quick and dirty screening test and as such would not be compatible with making a critical decision. Seems like a recipe for lots of false positives.
As examples.... “Sensitivity” is a term of not much utility. The common measure is “lower detection limit”, which is obtained via blanks and spikes within the analytical procedure and instruments. That 90% number thing might be referring to precision, which is a measure of repeatability. If so that’s pretty lousy for a quantitative test but may be acceptable for a qualitative test.
BTW, in analytical chemistry the is no such thing as zero. You will never see zero for any substance analyzed. What you will see is none detected greater than the lower detection limit. The lower detection limit is derived by using raw data from the sample analysis and quality control data from spikes and blanks. Statistics is a part of this determination as well.
I hope there is an analytical specialist that will comment on this better than I.
My wife got one of them - I was hoping it would show antibodies so we’d know we both had it w/o problems, but it came back negative and now this article tells me we still don’t know.
