My bet is present testing is far from 100% accurate.

Lookner has been reporting the test only catches 30-40% of the cases...(false negatives)

That is why many are tested multiple times

That is what I am hoping.

About 25 years ago (my Air Force career), I came back from the Mideast with TB. I went through the six months of the drugs and that kinda wiped that problem out, but the doctor said that I’d always show a false positive on the test if it was applied again.

I would suspect that this is a different type of virus, and the test have not matured to the point where you’d expect. It may be that when you feel completely over the thing and ready to check out of the hospital or go back to work...that you are only at the 75-percent point.
