I'm not disagreeing with you, but a lot of people don't understand the difference between an antibody test vs. the test to see if you currently have the virus.

The antibody test in particular is the one that can't differentiate between coronavirus and SARS-CoV-2.

Yeah, the conflating of tests is ridiculous. I'm torn between it being incompetence or political malice to inflate bad numbers.

Don't be torn. And don't think the malice is limited to merely inflating numbers, spreading panic. We have TONS of evidence of what they're up to:

  1. Fauci does have financial interest in medicines that compete with HCQ. Which doesn't mean he isn't serving the agenda to kill as many of us as possible.

  2. Cuomo isn't the only one who denied sick people medicine. Fewer than 10 Governors let people have HCQ as an outpatient! Here in WI you can't get it even if you've been on it all your life and failure to get it can kill you. He claims he has nothing to do with it and blames it on the medical boards. The Governor of SD proves that one Governor can stand up tot he bureaucracy and WIN.

  3. Cuomo isn't the only one who put CCPvirus patients in the same ROOM with healthy people in nursing homes as a permanent residence. Half the Nation's dead came about this way.

  4. If they cared about public health, they would've immediately told us that lockdowns are the worst thing for our immune systems, and what to do to strengthen our innate immune system.

  5. Plannedemic came before failed shampeachment ended. Had DJT not been distracted, he could've responded better.

  6. Plannedriots came as plannedemic was losing steam, and predictably created the recent spike. Age 29 and younger have TRIPLE the numbers they ever did before! Yet health Officials cover for it, all doling out the same message that was obviously planned in advance.

I doubt even most County or Federal Health Department workers know the difference either. LPN nursing doesn't go very deep into hard science, and I'd bet most nurses brain dump that shit as soon as exams are over because most of their job is more about treatment and paperwork procedure versus in-depth hard science.

Same goes for most of the doctors too. I'd wager the majority are family practice specialties, which doesn't exactly require one to maintain any kind of detailed knowledge on virology and/or immunology. They fix booboos and ouchies and give yearly shots. Anything requiring more than that, they send up the chain to a specialist.

Not really, they just report the numbers they're given. None of them have the hard science background required in order to "verify" anything. None of them are healthcare workers, they're bean-counting administrators.

PCR test is also plagued with false positives. Even the inventor of the test said it’s especially susceptible to false positives (false negatives do happen but the nature of this method skews far to the false positive). Every test has the potential to give a false positive and it’s heavily influenced by the tech that runs it. If you run enough cycles there is a point where it will throw a positive.

Yes! IABS - It's all bullshit.

65 x running the PCR and everyone's positive. So they stop at 38. Close enough for nuclear bombs, horseshoes - and government work.

Accuracy isn't even attempted. It's all about installing OWG.

This is dangerous in so many ways. Let's assume the virus actually is deadly for the sake of argument. False positives will allocate much needed resources to people who don't need it, including contract tracing on someone who never had it. False positives could swing the mortality in either direction. If they test everyone in the hospital, someone dying of plain old renal failure or cancer with a false positive would increase the mortality rate. On the other end, routine testing of healthy people would decrease the "mortality rate" since they obviously can't die from a false positive.

Basically, garbage data leads to garbage conclusions.

Garbage in, garbage out. Apparently, the Abbott test is the best method but it’s expensive. Trump did mention wanting to get the Abbott test far and wide. Best part about it, no back if the nose swab. Also, you can get results in 15 minutes.
