I just read the WHO revised guidance and I don’t see where they directly mention a reduction in the cycle count.

They do say to be careful about manually adjusting the positivity threshold. Maybe that’s an indirect way of saying something about the cycle count.

To me what’s important is that they advise not to accept a positive result if it’s inconsistent with the “clinical presentation.” IOW, if the patient isn’t showing symptoms, don’t just mark them down them as positive. Instead they say to give another test using a different method. It’s easy to see how this could *substantially* reduce false positives.

“I just read the WHO revised guidance and I don’t see where they directly mention a reduction in the cycle count.“

They say to go with the way pcr was meant to be used. Which means diagnostic only and a replication rate around 20. In the 40’s during Trump time.

So you are technically correct, they do not say to reduce but they do say to use manufacturers methods which is never above 20 iirc.

some of the evidence showing median age remains in the 80s.

google result:

UK coronavirus LIVE: Record Covid deaths recorded in UK as...
Evening Standard UK - 1 day ago
The median age of those who died was 83 and the age range was between 41 and 100...

above link now goes to the following, without the media age figures mentioned:

21 Jan: Evening Standard UK: UK coronavirus LIVE: Home Secretary announces £800 fine for those attending house parties as Covid deaths rise by 1,290
by Harriet Brewis
Priti Patel has announced a new £800 fine for those attending illegal house parties as she warned “egregious breaches” of the lockdown were “costing lives”.
“The science is clear — such irresponsible behaviour poses a significant threat to public health,” said the Home Secretary as she announced anyone attending indoor gatherings of more than 15 people will be slapped with the fine, doubling with each repeat offence to a maximum of £6,400...

how many 80-year-olds are at illegal house parties?

ONS, Office for National Statistics in England, used to have figures/graphs for median age etc, but they changed what they were reporting, and I can’t find the usual graphs on their website now. when I search, I get October figures:

ONS: Average age of death (median and mean) of persons whose death was due to COVID-19 or involved COVID-19, by sex, deaths registered up to week ending 2 October 2020, England and Wales

Remember a couple (?) months ago when Fauci said Covid would settle down around January 20? It’s all carefully scripted.

Okay, and along those lines I see the article links to a tweet where the WHO does directly talk about false positives from a high cycle count. Interestingly the tweet has been deleted.

please help. I cannot find median age for USA. how convenient. it’s probably on some website or another, but it should be easy to find!

Australian Govt: Coronavirus (COVID-19) at a glance – 31 December 2020
Description:
As at 3pm on 31 December 2020, a total of 28,408 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Australia, including 909 deaths, and approximately 217 active cases...

***◦The median age of deaths is 86 years (range: 27 to 106 years)...
https://www.health.gov.au/resources/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-at-a-glance-31-december-2020

State of Victoria has 820 of the above 909 deaths, majority in nursing homes. #909 was covid negative at time of death, but had been positive last March!
Australia had 2 deaths end of October and one death end of November. mass covid hysteria ongoing.

Interesting indeed.

Essentially this testing was invented to see if anything was in your system. The idea being take a sample and replicate it a bunch of times so a tiny amount becomes enough to “see”. It does not differentiate between live or dead ect. I think it was originally made for aids but don’t quote me on that. I do know the person that came up with it said point blank it should never be used to see if someone was sick, not meant for that.

Apparently anything over 25 cycles and it is useless. Essentially at the high cycle rates they were using it was said you could get a dead partical in your nose while walking through CVS on your way to the test and come back positive.

This is how they dupped everyone into thinking covid was everywhere, and it worked.

Every year, # of flu cases start to drop off the third week of January. They were already going to drop anyways. This will make the drop look more dramatic. Biden is a genius. /s

One year ago today:

After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown.

After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown. Health officials in Chicago said a woman in her 60s had become the second U.S. patient diagnosed with the new virus; she’d returned from China in mid-January.
