Gov. Mike DeWine tested negative for the coronavirus hours after a positive rapid-result test prevented him from welcoming President Trump to Ohio on Thursday, reflecting the increasingly complex state of testing in the United States.
The whiplash day of contradictory results is a further indication of the country’s limited ability to slow the spread of the virus with widespread and accurate testing.
When Mr. DeWine was first tested on Thursday morning as part of a White House screening, he received an antigen test, a new frontier of testing that allows for results in minutes, not days, but has been shown to be less accurate. The positive result came as a “big surprise,” said Mr. DeWine, who had not been experiencing symptoms other than a headache.

So, all those positive cases might not be so? Wow! Imagine that!
F**k this cattle-herding horseshit.
its why i dont put much stock in the tests
they yield incorrect results and can screw up a person’s freedom to move about if you get a false positive.

” he received an antigen test, a new frontier of testing that allows for results in minutes, not days, but has been shown to be less accurate. “
* Actually., it’s “less accurate” because it has proven to give too many “false negatives”., LOL!
The article implies the opposite! *
But it also has a slight tendency to “false positives.
It’s very fast though.
As a public health tool it’s terrific. Would love to see all school children get these tests.
FDA is holding it up though.
Schrodinger’s COVID?
He’s tested positive as a conservative too ;-)
Wait till they order contact tracing. 666.

31 Jul: Gateway Pundit: Ontario, Canada Govt Medical Official Warns Against Mass Coronavirus Testing– ‘Will Not Actually Achieve Anything’, False Positives ‘Almost Half’ in Low COVID Areas (VIDEO)
By Kristinn Taylor
As Ontario, Canada prepares to open schools for children in September, Ontario’s Associate Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Barbara Yaffe warned against mass testing for the COVID-19 China coronavirus, saying it takes resources from other needed areas and does not “actually achieve anything.” Dr. Yaffe also said that in areas with low incidences of COVID infection, the rate for false positive test results is “almost half.”...
“You know, I think a lot of people think that testing is going to really solve the whole problem, and it isn’t. It’s one component of a response. If you test somebody today, uh, you only know if they’re infected today. And in fact if you’re testing in a population that doesn’t have very much COVID, you’ll get false positives almost half the time. That is the person actually doesn’t have COVID, they have something else, they may have nothing. Uh, so it will just complicate the picture.”...

How convenient to ditch Trump
Yep
Are these tests made in China?!
Why aren’t we getting our things from Taiwan and Kore?
This isn’t the first time the accuracy of the tests have been questioned.
Corrupt Senile DeWiner was conveniently positive to avoid meeting President Trump. Once the President left Ohio, DeWiner was miraculously cured.
Do you ever get the feeling that we’re being manipulated?
“The whiplash day of contradictory results is a further indication of the country’s limited ability to slow the spread of the virus with widespread and accurate testing.“
No, it is indicative of what a bunch of worthless crap all the tests and other so-called statistics are. It is indicative of the dishonesty of this whole fear-mongering election-rigging fake-science scheme.
If these fake-scientists were at all interested informing the world of the real danger posed by this virus, they would be focused on one thing:
How many people have died with Covid19 as the PRIMARY cause of death.
Instead, they are intentionally obscuring that crucial piece of information, because they know it would reveal that the virus is nowhere near deadly enough to justify the draconian infringement on our basic constitutional freedoms.
The Left is always looking for excuses to curtail our rights - they never let a crisis go to waste.
