I am warming up to Ron Paul again. Can’t remember anymore why I use to dislike him.

How many of these “cases” said to have been “recorded” actually have been positively certified by genuine laboratory tests? Otherwise, they are only diagnoses, unconfirmed, probably statistics skewed for political reasons..

SO WHAT. A lot of people have the common cold and seasonal allergies, too.

THIS COUNTRY HAS GONE INSANE. What the hell has gotten into people? A disease SO MILD you have to be tested to even know you had it? And they're making us wear face bags/man silencers, and are destroying the economy because of it? I am coming to the conclusion that I don't want to be an American anymore, if this is what it is.

How many of these positive tested have no symptoms? Mild symptoms? Symptoms no worse that other types of flu?

Not only that, how many are repeat tests, e.g. previously positive who want to find out if they have recovered?

So 60,000 positives means 640,000 (over 90%) came back not positive
_______________________________

And the test has a ‘false positive’ rate of 30%. So of the 60,000 positive cases, 20,000 should have been negative. the real number is then 40,000 out of 700,000 tests which is 5.7%. like a big yawn. Farting is probably more dangerous than CV-19.

Big Lies Matter

Jimmy Johnson (NASCAR) tested positive before the race on Saturday so wasn’t allowed to drive. He then tested negative twice within 24 hours and was allowed back in the pits.

Most likely it was a false positive. But I’m sure the CDC will count it as a positive result.
