There must be something wrong with these tests.

No, there’s something wrong with the idiots who are administering them too soon.
Unless this headline is exactly the result they were looking for...

Do we know the rate of false positive/negative test results?
5k sailors on the Roos. Assuming all tested, that’s less than 1%.
To: Mariner
We were told that this wasnt possible by the WHO.
Its fascinating that we cant use treatments like HCO without proof but theyre deciding public policy and lives on tests that appear to be horribly inaccurate.

And in some cases the infection can be at such a low level that it is not detected by the test. Its not clear whether cases like these are actual relapses, or if people tested negative without really being completely clear of the virus. Doesn't quite match the headline?
The run, run the sky is falling!

That’s my thoughts exactly. Poor accuracy on the tests.

I.m sure it would make Fauci smile.
But let's not be stupid. Only 5 tested positive. How many had it before?? Like 500...
Lab contaminated?? That would be my guess.
To: Mariner
supposedly there are several strains of the virus- the one on west coast is supposed to be not as bad as east coast- and one in europe is worse than one from another country- who knows what the truth is-

“5k sailors on the Roos. Assuming all tested, thats less than 1%.”
Only about 1k were. infected.
To: Mariner
they all had to test negative twice in a row, with the tests separated by at least a day or two
They weren't in quarantine long enough or they gave the tests too soon ~ or both.

There were 1100 positive cases on the ship. So 5 cases is a fluke.
0.0045

Why was that information made public? I don’t see the logic in publishing any information regarding the readiness or preparation for readiness of any military unit.

Those sailors should be temporarily on higher doses of Vitamin D3 and zinc for a month or so. Guarantee that most of them will feel a lot better.

Huh.
I wonder why this journalist didn’t mention that the virus can sometimes be detected more than a month after infection, instead of writing this up as if it could only be a reinfection or mutation
To: Mariner
Wouldn’t that mean we are waiting for a vaccine that will never work? Might as well open up today if that is the case.

The resurgence of the virus in the five sailors on the USS Theodore Roosevelt underscores the befuddling behavior of the highly contagious virus and raises questions about how troops that test positive can be reintegrated into the military, particularly on ships.
They should be put in New York nursing homes. That's the Cuomo way.

This should not be public information. The readiness of our military assets have no business being aired for all of our enemies to know. Make them find out about our weaknesses the old fashioned way - espionage!!
