PCR tests are not useless. They amplify a bit of genetic material so it can be seen. I have read that the number of cycles should be held at 35 rounds. At that point you amplify up bits and bites of stuff that is probably not relevant.

IF the test results were VALIDATED in patients with varying levels of symptoms OR COVID-19 antibodies, that would make the observed results much more powerful.

ALSO note that after a patient fights off an infection, bits of the virus will remain present in white cells; lymphocytes can survive for YEARS.

An antibody test that uses that uses antibodies SPECIFIC against COVID-19 (not just coronavirus) would be good. A test that looked for COVID-19 antibodies in a patient would be ok, but the patient would have some level of immunity. IgM Ab tests would likely catch earlier infection than IgG Ab tests.

Note the MANY tests from China in the above documents.

costa rica as of nov 1 discontinued requirement of negative pcr test within 72 hours of entry -”There is also controversy as to the reliability of the RT-PCR test as an accurate way to determine whether someone is carrying the SARS CoV-2 virus.”

I think the term useless in context means useless for absolute purposes vs. a tool to generate noise & false positives to add to the tricks & techniques being employed to drive the narrative. I’ve always believed the virus is real, the numbers are fake.

Thank you, I will read link and see what I can understand. Do you know if most tests becing used now are the PCR kind, and if so, are they specific to covid 19 or general corona virus?

Thank you for this great information on the testing.
