CDC guidelines on COVID-19 antibody tests note that a positive antibody test result does not necessarily indicate immunity from the virus
The Hill ^ | 5/28/2020 | Rebecca Klar

“We made them mandatory in public settings, public transportation etc., but when we’re talking about reopening stores and places of business, we’re giving the store owners the right to say, ‘If you’re not wearing a mask, you can't come in,'” Cuomo said during his daily press briefing.

“The masks work, they work,” he said. “And we have to culturalize the masks, we have to customize the masks for New York, to get New Yorkers to wear them.”

Culturalize, interesting way to say it.

At least we will be able to distinguish stores owned by Karen Lefties and those owned by smart people.

Oops, copied and pasted wrong title, should be:

Cuomo to sign executive order allowing businesses to deny entry to customers without masks

What does the CDC really know about the WuhuFlu?

Do they do ANY science or just hang around the dart board and make up statistics?

So we ask again - what good is testing, the especially if so highly inaccurate, unless you have an agenda to build up the numbers to stoke fear

So why waste the time and money on it?

Lessee now...

The virus is .03 to .06 microns wide

The masks only filter above 0.3 microns

There’s a reason Cuomo is a politician

He’s innumerate

They’re just trying to extend this and hang onto the power it’s given them.

President Trump, we have a Surgeon General who should come forward and say something. He’s not very aggressive but maybe he needs to be the spokesman and get a better team of advisors. Or call back Ben Carson.

If the CDC is correct that means vaccines are useless.

they dont think their testing is accurate.

they dont think the disease needs microbial testing, only
.... a “diagnosis” by symptoms (2 of a list of 10 things).

they dont think their modeling is even close.

but YOU HAD BETTER TAKE THEIR VACCINES and learn
to LOVE the RETROVIRUSES you already have from them,
and will get in their NEXT NOVEL BATCH.

WTF are they in charge of anything?

"President Trump, we have a Surgeon General who should come forward and say something."

He's a good looking black man and obviously accomplished, but he's out of his depth.

WAIT! How are we expected to trust ANY CDC test results now?

Better yet. How are we to trust anything/anyone CDC?

"CDC guidelines on COVID-19 antibody tests note that a positive antibody test result does not necessarily indicate immunity from the virus"

So if vaccines work by helping body to stimulate production of virus antibodies, can’t it be argued that vaccines don’t necessarily guarantee immunity from virus either, particularly if virus mutates like flu does?

Corrections, insights welcome.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

“we have to culturalize the masks”

No thanks.

Never mind your command of English. Will anyone go all “potatoes” on Cuomo here?

The media, as always, garbled the message.

The CDC’s point (and I’m no fan of the CDC on this COVID caper) was that since they are finding that the prevalence of the CCP Virus is low, even in hot spots like New York, the proportion of false positives will be relatively large, so it’s not a useful diagnostic tool for an individual.

OTOH, which I don’t think they pointed out, a negative result should be highly reliable. It’s just the way the numbers work out with the currently available antibody tests and current prevalence.

Wait a couple of days. They’ll change their mind on that too.

"The masks work, they work," he said. “And we have to culturalize the masks, we have to customize the masks for New York, to get New Yorkers to wear them."

CULTURALIZE. This is classic Alinsky. Making people wearing the mask serves three purposes, and NONE is health-related: 1) the mask is a symbol of fear and crisis; 2) it severs human contact, causing the population to be more alienated than it already is, allowing them to be more easily controlled; and 3) by forcing people to live a lie (the masks prevent COVID), it induces them to justify their own silly behavior in wearing the porous masks, perpetuating the symbols of fear.
