Trump recovers, left must admit to one of these:

a) Hydroxychloriquine works

b) COVID-19 is no big deal

c) False positive rate on tests is really high

All of the above

Yup, but we only need one to end the lockdowns and the nonsense mass mail in ballot harvesting electoral fraud scheme

False positive is actually a really strong possibility. Trump has been tested at least once a day since March, or about 200 days.

If the chance of a false positive is 1%, then he should have tested positive at least twice by now (ie 2 false positives per 200 tests). But even the best tests for any virus is around 5-10%, and so he should have tested positive 10-20x by now

As funny as it would be for him to tweet "Psych! LOL" tomorrow, I'm pretty sure they would have been through all of this before issuing a statement.

The odds of Trump and his wife getting false positive results at the same time are very small.

Disagree, the tests are faulty and inconsistent

less than 3% of positive PCR tests for covid were actually viable virus even at a 35 Ct.

97% could not be cultured/were not live. these people were not sick nor contagious.

this test is seriously over-sensitive.

fun fact: the 40Ct used in the US is 32X this sensitive.

Your own post says the false positive rate is 5-10%.

Using the worst case of 10%, the probability of two consecutive false positives is 0.1 * 0.1 = 0.01, or 1%.

So, you are disagreeing with YOURSELF.

being overly sensitive doesnt equate to a false positive.

I doubt he would publicly announce a positive test w/o having ran it 2x or 3x considering the possibility of a false positive.

That’s not how statistics work

That is how they work. You can take multiple tests at one time to help identify false positives, but my description was correct

But even the best tests for any virus is around 5-10%

That's not true and he's almost certainly tested twice to reduce false positives for the low selectivity of the tests.

But not everyone is tested twice. And even if you are with enough of a population being tested you'll still come back with more false than true.

Exactly this. I'm LOLing over here because the left is too dumb to realize that Trump is about to knock down their scandemic sacred cow.

That bullshit with comorbidity still gets me. It’s like when a bunch of stars assigned cancer as their cause of death when it was actually AIDS. It doesn’t help in the slightest to blame what clearly wasn’t the cause just because it was in the same eco system when the collapse happened. Died of a heart attack while infected with the WuFlu? Chalk another one onto the tally board!

It’s like, have these people no standards? No pride in actually doing their task well?

Standards went out the window when the government started offering a big pile o' cash for every Covid death.

Who died of cancer that actually died of AIDS?

CrimsonClown 1 point ago +1 / -0

It was a bunch of older Hollywood stars that had cancer listed as their cause of death and not AIDS. I really could not be bothered to go find the names again.

Masks are "political theater". https://streamable.com/fqkvv0

Love how this has been actively suppressed by the media and big tech. You can shit on the lockdowns but man they get butt hurt when you call out masks. Lockdown subreddit is still up yet they deleted the mask subreddit months ago.
