Not to be biased, but I felt I needed to share some first hand knowledge from the last few days regarding the home tests. Two of my daughters are nurses in a major hospital.
Both along with three other nurses they work closely with, and two of their children came down with the dreaded "symptoms". So they all took home tests that showed positive for Covid.
As a work and school requirement for the kids, they all had to take the longer term 48 hr test before they could return to work and school. All tested negative with the second 48 hour test.
That is is 7 and 0 losses for the home test. I would say that is a pretty good first hand observation that the home tests are rigged to show false positives.
So you’re saying they took the home test and then the same day or close to it, took the 48 hour test?
My daughter did the home test after she was advised by someone he had tested positive. This about 5 hours before she was supposed to come for Christmas Eve feast I had prepared. The test was negative then she tried again a few hours later and was positive. So she didn’t come. The next morning she took another test and it was negative again. So she came for Christmas Day. The tests are just another confusing item they’ve thrown at us.
All of the PCR tests have been known to give unreliable results with false positives being the most common error.
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
The PCR test can’t tell the difference between the common cold, influenza, what they call COVID or hemorrhoids, according to the CDC
Which home test?
BinaxNow was accurate for us.
Of course nothing is perfect. The tests themselves and people messing up taking them.
But you can pee on a pregnancy stick with 99% accuracy.
Makes sense to me.
My roommate has Covid, with flu-like symptoms. I showed up to volunteer down the street, they had me take the Covid Home Test and it showed up negative.
I probably didn’t test precisely correct, so it coulda been a false negative. But since I had Covid well before there were “vaxes” for it, I have some natural immunity.
The way I look at it, if I were headed to be with family and tested negative for Covid then I woulda showed up and loudly proclaimed I tested neg. If they all come down with a 99.6% survivability disease then that’s on the testers, not me.
A disease with 99.6% survivability is NOT a pandemic.
In August, my oldest brother was sick with CoVid symptoms for several days, but he had just had his first dose of vaccine, so wasn’t sure if he just felt sick from that. After another day or two, he continued getting worse, so they started testing him at home every day. 4 negative tests, and at the time, you had to have a positive test in order to qualify for the monoclonal antibody treatment. Day 5 test, (day 10 of the illness) he tested positive, but had O2 of 87, so no longer qualified for the monoclonal treatment. He was admitted to the regular floor first, then to a CoVid special room, then ICU. He succumbed about 20 days into the illness.
Sometimes they are false negatives, also, not just false positives. So beware either way.
The Boulder study showed that almost 1/3 of college roommates did not share Covid.
“So you’re saying they took the home test and then the same day or close to it, took the 48 hour test?”
Yes, absolutely, same day. And they are medical professionals who could never goof it up. They know what they are doing, they deal with covid everyday, and they are pissed.
This is not a true statement. Please actually read the cdc statement
They have made the test a part of a viral panel instead of requiring multiple specimen gatherings.
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, none of the pregnancy tests that I have peed on have come back positive. I think it is that darned Y chromosome that screws them up.
Thank you for the link, yes I remember that. And didn’t a fruit or something like that also test positive when this mess all started?
So sorry to hear this about your brother. And it seems that the testing is almost making things more confusing.
If I were you, I’d sue over that.
Pure sexism, if I’ve ever seen it!
“Which home test?”
I am not sure, I will ask as soon as I can.
