Well, from a medical perspective, if a patient has fever, low blood oxygen, and ground glass opacities on a chest CT AND the COVID PCR is positive, it means quite a bit. It also is quite helpful, with the identical clinical scenario, if it is negative.
Use of the test for population screening was probably unwise from the start - but there have been so, so many unwise decisions, right from the start, that that one isn't in my personal top ten.
you didn’t write that...you only mentioned a positive reading of a suspect test that even Fauci has admitted was pretty useless. The positive tests were the number one reason used by states to shut down everything...I’d say that’s huge.
