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.
Saint Trump performs miraculous healing on DuhWhine
Best 2 out of 3?
” 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.
How convenient to ditch Trump
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.
so.....how reliable are ANY of these tests?
If the test that the Secret Service issues to a man who is about to meet the President can deliver a false positive, how good can one being given by the health department in some rural county in Florida be?
“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.”
That statement comes from the fact that while the antigen test may show a positive result, the PCR test may not.
But the PCR test is also not accurate. It finds bits and after some sampling it uses algorithms to estimate a viral load. BUT sometimes the bits that it found and used were not active viral components, but remnants, left from a defeated infection and sometimes those remnants can be found 12 weeks after the infection has been defeated. THAT fact has contributed to the current “new case” counts.
I would say a positive PCR test with zero symptoms requires repeat PCR tests each week, as long as there is still no symptoms, for up to 13 weeks or until the PCR test is negative, whichever is sooner. If symptoms never develop, the initial positive test was registering remnants of defeated infection, not a “new” positive case.
