Microbiology experts in Spain have said that rapid coronavirus tests that the country bought from China are not consistently detecting positive cases.
Studies on the tests done in Spain found that they had only 30% sensitivity, meaning they correctly identify people with the virus only 30% of the time, sources told the Spanish newspaper El País.
The studies prompted the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology to formally recommend not using these tests, El País reported. Health workers are now meant to use other tests that take longer to give a result.
Fernando Simón, the director of Spain's health-emergencies coordination center, said on Thursday that Spain checked 9,000 of the tests, found that their results were not consistent enough, and decided to return them.

Crappy thing about a negative test is she spent 3 days around her twin-who is immuno- compromised. Now we wait....
Just more in a long line of Chinese-made crap. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA!!!
That’s why the Chinese have very few new cases.
They can’t detect the virus with their test kits...so the virus doesn’t exist.
I also read up on the milk and baby formula scandal in China that occurred in 2008. Melamine particles were being added. Babies, and other people were developing kidney stones and kidney damage. According to wikipedia:
"Of an estimated 300,000 victims in China, six babies died from kidney stones and other kidney damage and an estimated 54,000 babies were hospitalized.
It's amazing how many stupid people there are in this country that believe the Chi-coms would never deliberately murder a large number of their population by releasing a virus. One dope on a Fox News thread made that claim. I wrote back and told him that it's called "culling the herd", and that HItler and Stalin were good at it too. I also pointed out that China is the country that has mandatory population control laws, forced abortions, and organ harvesting.
Today the dummy wrote back, and said: "I was talking about modern times."
My response to him was: "Modern times? Joseph Stalin died only 67 years ago. We're not talking the Dark Ages here. If you don't think that monsters like Hitler and Stalin exist today...then think again."
