“The CDC website appear’s to be overrun by highly infectious apostrophe’s.”
And how about this paragraph that is opaque to me:
“Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and this study conducted, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full-length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/µL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen.”
They created a model and, without confirming the validity of the model to imitate live virus, developed tests to confirm the presence of the model. Then they extrapolated/assumed the test will produce same results with actual virus. The scientific malfeasance of such project is mind boggling. And all this is happening in the most technologically advanced country in the world, supposedly…
