Does the test indicate he has exposure? Or is it a specific antibody type? Because if it’s not a specific type then it could just be passive defenses running.

AP is at it again. HQ doesn’t kill the virus. It just interferes with its ability to infect cells, so of course he still tests positive after taking HQ. what a stupid, misleading headline.

Even if you have dead virus remains in your system you will test positive.

Antifa News(AP) fake news strikes again.
Of course Bolsonaro still tests positive. They are antibodies for crying out loud.
The key point is, he is feeling great after taking HCQ for coronavirus, even as hundreds of thousands die worldwide from coronavirus when they failed to take HCQ.
Is there no end to AP’S fakery?

Antifa Press (AP) is about the most evil, most insidious mass propaganda outfit on the planet.
So if I get a disease, get treatment , recover and I am happily getting on with my life but have anti bodies in my blood that is somehow a bad thing?
The entire article makes my blood boil.
God give me strength.

Brazil’s government says the country has recorded more than 2 million confirmed cases of coronavirus and more than 81,000 deaths. That’s second only to the United States in both categories, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.

Need to report the case rate and death rate per 100,000 or 1,000,000 population. Both the US and Brazil have large populations, and both aren't doing badly with COVID-19. Of course they both have larger absolute numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths than, say, Belgium, which has a much smaller population but has about twice the case rate and death rate as the US and Brazil.

If AP understood math and statistics, they wouldn't be AP.

From my understanding, COVID-19 antigen testing can remain positive for quite some time following recovery because it is detecting fragments of now non-infectious ("dead") virus that remain in cells. IgM/IgG antibody testing should/would answer the question regarding disease activity.

Show me a journalist who could pass a science exam and I'll show you the tombstone (1987) of Jules Bergman. Other than a few like him, they work in ignorance and bulls*** the way other artists might work in oils or clay (to paraphrase Jean Shepherd).

No doubt that each time he tests positive it will count as a new case of COVID.

The PCR test can get a positive if there’s viral debris still in the nose. But the debris isn’t infectious.

HCQ does not stop you from getting WuFlu.

It helps your cells absorb enough zinc to be able to fight it off more easily.

RE: HCQ does not stop you from getting WuFlu.

Then why are a lot of people ( especially healthcare workers in India ) taking it for Prophylaxis?

I find it encouraging that the Ass Press is hiring mouth-breathing retards with an apparent IQ of 50 or less to write their articles.

It means their ADA outreach program is working at tip-top efficiency...

Well they have to say that HCQ should be banned to stay hired.

If you already have HCQ in your system, and have adequate levels of zinc, then your immune system should be able to rapidly fight off infection with minimum severity of symptoms.

Said another way, if WuFlu virus gets into you, and your body fights it off without you even noticing, then you technically "got" it, even though you had minimal symptoms.

Believe me, if Obama was President they'd be working the statisics to show that the USA is surpassing every other nation in every way. They understand statistics, they use them deceptively to advance their narrative.

“HQ doesn’t kill the virus.”

almost NO antiviral kills viruses: they ALL interfere with replication, which is why if they aren’t given right away they don’t work ... any of them ...

HCQ is also a VERY powerful anti-inflamatory(which is why it’s used to treat lupus and rheumatoid arthritis), and that’s likely it’s most powerful role in treating covid, namely suppressing the body’s wildly out of control inflammatory reaction to the covid virus ...
