FWIW and it is anecdotal, when I was tested my doctor said they were getting a lot of false positives with the “quick tests” and that many people exhibited no symptoms even when they were “high risk.” My clinic stopped using the PCR tests for that reason and went with the slower and more accurate test.
I know two people who tested positive that should have exhibited symptoms and infected others who lived with them who were vulnerable, but they did not.
I know a middle-aged person who was positive that was very sick.
There are definitely issues with the testing and the labs doing the testing. The anti-body test should demonstrate this?
In the current political climate none of the figures from any kind of testing program can be trusted. After the election, this thing is going to go away and quickly fade from people's memories. Hopefully this type of abuse of our system will never happen again.
The only useful purpose this buffoonery has served is letting us know how gullible the general public has become... and that is truly scary. I know people who haven't let their parents come to visit their grandchildren because they were afraid the grandparents would make their kid's sick. And we have not been allowed to have funeral for my brother-in-law in nearly 6 months because of an order from our governor.
