I Had COVID-19 But Tested Negative 5 Times. Here's What You Should Know About Testing.

If I read this correctly, there is no evidence that she actually had COVID-19. All scientific tests both antigen and PCR were negative. She did have some common symptoms of any number of flu like illnesses and her husband and son both had it.

What happened to trust the science?

Read the article
In late July they all tested positive for the antibodies so they all had it or like the child, were exposed enough to develop antibodies with various immune system reactions

I don’t do the tests but I talked to someone who does them...the long q tip has to hit the back of your nose and be swirled around for 10 seconds....when I had my covid test, that did not happen. there is a great variance I believe in testing protocols....

[cherry]

I am getting an antibody test on Sunday so I’ll find out for sure..

It’s like in africa, where they go buy symptoms to diagnose aids. They get more funding that way. I am so ready for this china flu mask crap to end.

The line is from a scene out of The Quest for the Holy Grail.

You’ll find it around the 1:50 mark.

I remember reading a short story I believe was called SYMPTOMS, in which an individual obtained a medical book and read about symptoms of various diseases. He then concluded that he had every disease listed with the exception of housemaids knee.

Now every sniffle, ache or discomfort might be the deadly virus! Just give me my HCQ-Z to take at the first sniffle, ache or discomfort and forget the test!

The main flaw in PCR is not a flaw but a feature. It only indicates the presence of DNA. It cannot indicate if the DNA came from live or dead cells.

I knew the line and it’s still funny

[Vendome]

Yep CDC says not to use test as a sole determinant of anything. It is only one part of the evidence and may be flawed for a variety of reasons From the World Health Organization (WHO): “Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) technical guidance: Laboratory testing for 2019-nCoV in humans” https://bit.ly/3cidWiS “Several assays that detect the 2019-nCoV have been and are currently under development, both in-house and commercially. Some assays may detect only the novel virus [COVID] and some may also detect other strains (e.g. SARS-CoV) that are genetically similar.”

 

Again:

some may also detect other strains (e.g. SARS-CoV) that are genetically similar

Good.

If Kewel in conjunction with autograph means something, and I am assuming that if you did know the line, it does, then I missed it.

[Vendome]

I just think it’s funny and if were turned into a newt and were cured, I’d want to meet you and get an autograph.

LOL

I can relate. However I am getting constant nose bleeds.

I had something similar last December. A big splash of blood on my cell phone screen. Weeks of dribbly nose just on the edge of a nosebleed. It finally resolved in late march. On a lark, I did an antibody test for COVID-19. Negative. Zero surprise since antibody goes seronegative 90 does after "recovery". I'm pretty sure it was something my wife brought home from work. I work 100% from my home office.

[Myrddin]

I have an MD friend who was working the front lines in the ER in Texas. He said he had patients with symptoms and 5 failed nasal swaps. A lower lung lavage yielded a positive result. He anticipated getting infected and that happened. He did the HCQ/zinc protocol and recovered quickly. He's continuing he residency in the ICU. He indicated the ICU had been hammered hard by COVID-19 cases.

I imagine that everyone in the skit is supposed to be illiterate.

Thus

Thank you for sharing. I have used a saline spray and other things, but whenever my below my knees, like when I drop my pen or I sneeze, on comes the nosebleed.

It really doesn't matter either way for most people.

Someday, someone will validate my working theory, reinforced by science and the experiences of me & my wife. It applies equally to any respiratory illness. I now have mine in the medicine cabinet.
