Weather permitting, Saturday launch at Cape Canaveral.
I know someone who had lots of covid symptoms.
Tested 4 times.
3 came back negative.
Last one positive.
He is now dead.
Elderly gentleman.
Blood clots.
Rapid antigen tests are less accurate than some others. These also only test for antigens, which indicate past exposure and do not indicate whether the case is current and active.
They are no longer considered adequate for many purposes such as screening for travel.
The best use for these antigen tests is random population samples to get an idea of the state of herd immunity.
*****The tests only test for “symptoms” and not Covid 19.
This is why the tests are all over the place.*****
Thank you for understanding that the tests are bogus.
Your analysis is not accurate. The “tests” can be manipulated by how many doubling cycles are performed per test. There is lots of info out there.
Elon Musk shared a first hand experience that is very enlightening. 4-tests with same person back to back, same test method, same machine, same nurse. Terrifically simple controls. Results 2 positive and 2 negative. Which is right? Flip a coin, 50:50, 50% false positive or false negative?
This 50% false, is actually better than I expected and is the kind of crappy data being fed into the “case” numbers that most everyone is wringing their hands over and triggering the quarantine and contact tracing mania. I haven’t kept up with current false positive performance of the antibody tests but in the spring they were documented to have a 90% false positive rate.
BTW, the persons replying to Elon’s tweet are ignorant jerks for the most part. I suspect it was simply to detract from the in your face documentation of the COVID testing game being played on us. Elon, very brilliantly played!
The cat always knew whether it was alive or dead.
All of this increase in “cases” of the Bat Flu is to keep the hysteria going and to continually justify the vote by mail scheme.
And the “symptoms” of Covid 19 are strangely similar to the flu, which seems to have disappeared altogether.
Rapid antigen tests are dodgy. Each one is different, threshold of detection is poor.
All are weak in asymptomatic people. All are weak in advanced disease.
There’s a sweet spot for them - first 24-36 hours of symptoms in people with known exposure.
Taiwan and South Korea are small islands. South Korea is only connected to land by a DMZ. So no one can pass that way. Its much easier for them to lock off populations if someone gets the virus. But the most important thing. Is that their population is much thinner than ours. We are fat. So we are far more likely to get the virus. And far more likely to die from it. Korea, Japan and Taiwan have antibodies throughout half their population without noticing the disease. Its not that they know anything. It’s that they can more easily close themselves off from the world. And that their general fitness happens to inoculate them from the worst symptoms of this disease.
“The tests only test for ‘symptoms’ and not Covid 19.”
That makes no sense. By definition, a symptom is “a ... feature which is regarded as indicating a condition of disease, PARTICULARLY THAT IS APPARENT TO THE PATIENT.”
A patient has APPARENT things going on. You don’t get tested for a symptom; you get tested because you already have a symptom. These Covidiots are disgusting.
How would the cat know it was dead? :)
Steve Gruber is talking about this right now
Go for best 3 out of 5?...
There must also be a mandatory vaccine for CoVid survivors.
a family member went to her doctor get tested. she checked in, filled out paperwork and waited in the waiting room. the wait was too long, she had somewhere else to be so she left before being seen. a week or so later she received a letter with her positive test results.
PCR/NAA has a much higher false positive rate. Direct antigen test is 100% specific, 97% sensitive, at least that’s what Quidel mfr tells us. It’s a fticken head/chest cold. It’s not going away, vaccines are superfluous, lockdowns and masks dangerous (they weaken our immune system), get over it.
“Well, that’s two new “cases” racked up...”
Yep that is exactly how they count these CASES. I am so sick and tired of the media saying 1000’s of new cases today in xyz... Cases don’t mean shit except herd immunity. They lie to scare the sheeple.
Every time I walk in to a store I get so pissed off seeing all these sheeple with there masks on I want to scream. I never wear a mask ever.
“All of this increase in “cases” of the Bat Flu is to keep the hysteria going and to continually justify the vote by mail scheme.”
They will also use it to justify crushing our freedom.
Did Dominion get the contract?
