Fifty-two passengers on one flight from Delhi to Hong Kong test positive for coronavirus after landing - despite ALL presenting a negative test while boarding

At least 52 people from a single flight from Delhi to Hong Kong have tested positive for Covid-19, despite all passengers presenting a negative coronavirus test before boarding.

All of the passengers who tested positive flew into Hong Kong on a flight from India's capital, run by Indian airline Vistara on April 4.

Hong Kong as a whole has been recording fewer daily new infections than the total number detected on the flight, since it brought a fourth wave of infections under control in January.

I wish they’d close our borders!

They won’t.

There are still American who need to get replaced by H1B Indians

All this means is that India and Hong Kong use different cycle counts in their PCR tests.

Many of us have SarsCOV-2 virus in and on us. Most people’s innate immune system can hamper or destroy the virus before it affects them too badly.

People with weak or weakened innate immune systems start to experience some of the terrible effects that we hear about in the news. They have to rely on their adaptive immune system to produce anti-bodies and rid themselves of the virus.

If the cycle count on the PCR test is too high, it will pick up shed proteins even in very miniscule amounts. This is why so many people test positive but have no symptoms. Their natural immune system did what it was supposed to do and stopped the threat.

The creator of the PCR test said that it should never be used on people with no symptoms and should only be used at 25-30 cycle counts.

Each and every one of us walks around with MRSA on our skin. How ridiculous would it be to take swabs of everyone’s (including people with no symptoms) skin to diagnose who had a MRSA infection and who didn’t?

I remember reading an article when CV19 first came on the scene. Woman tests negative for CV19 and one hour later had succumb to the disease.

CV19 has the ability to do things no other pathogen has done in the history of humankind.

India has been requiring “Real-Time PCR” testing for anyone who passes through an airport in India. I would what kind of test was required on arrival in HK.

Maybe the tests are garbage?

BINGO They have been from the start just the the covid death numbers. All bunk.

Bingo!

Test 1 - negative
Immediate test 2 - negative
Immediate test 3 - hmm
Immediate test 4 - positive.

Now what?

I used to do TB checks on arrivals at a time when a pre-boarding chest X ray was required to immigrate to the US.

Quite a few of the people from India with “normal” chest Xrays had active TB on arrival.

I would not believe any COVID test required to board a flight from India or Pakistan to the West. The airports should be closed.

“This never has been about stopping the spread of a virus.”

“Mostly peaceful” rioting is just fine. Going to church is forbidden. Yep. Got it.

I think the Democrats feel that this (the masks, the mass closings of businesses and churches) has vastly increased their power to make us proles* do what they want whenever they want us to. I think the blowback is forming and it will be massive. I suspect we are heading back to private police and there will be few or no public police to stop them. I suspect that companies will move out of cities and towns where they were not protected and those areas may never recover their tax base. Look for massive civic bankruptcies. The communist prosecutors like Jerry Blackwell, who prosecuted Derek Chavin, will probably be reigned in. The justice system was already in need of reform. I see that as another unexpected outcome, not so much of covid, but of the riots that resulted from media coverage, will also result in a huge reduction in Democratic power.

* prole [prōl]NOUN proles (plural noun) a member of the working class; a worker.

"Close the airports.

Do it now."

That would make sense. Which is why the Harris administration will not close the airports.

India has gone back to using Ivermectin, after being talked out of it earlier this year by the new interlopers in the White House.

While their caseload is high, it is now topping out and should soon be dropping, now that they’re again providing a practical treatment for the virus.

This answer sounds real close to what I’ve heard. The more they test, the more likely they will find a “positive”. I supposedly had it, went through all kinds of stuff at the hospital & rehab & still have after-effects from something. Not sure if I will ever be exactly the same as I was before this happened...whatever “that” was. Maybe MOST of the tests are garbage. I went through hell to get cured of something, tho.

I suspect that the tests in India were faulty.
