PCR test. This COVID-19 test detects genetic material of the virus using a lab technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

That’s the test that is resulting in so many positive results due to it picking up fragmentary pieces of the virus RNA and DNA. They are now estimating it’s producing 90% false positives, depending on how many runs of multiplication of the chain they do. Some labs were getting far too many positives. Some were doing 40 to 50 runs. 35 was considered excessive.

I know of two people who recovered from this virus. They are in their 40’s and 50’s and big time fitness enthusiasts. Both felt weak during their difficulties with the infection. One was enervated to the point he was exhausted from climbing a flight of stairs. Prior to this illness, he might have taken the stairs two steps at a time, flight after flight.

Sorry to hear that your recovery has been rough going. Hope you and your SO get over the hump soon.
