The point to be made from that NYT story is that perhaps the test is too sensitive —to be the only test— but we shouldn’t stop using the PCR. We need more tests, especially the rapid ones. Give me an 95% accurate rapid test In quantity and we can go to football games. Don’t need to PCR everyone. 1

It’s not a big deal. I just hadn’t heard about that and it seems like it didn’t happen. good news found CDC lab instructions for PCR test dated 7/13 which replaced the 6/12 instructions I had seen earlier seems like it happened after all https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download note that on pg 26 (f), the CDC is instructing that the thermal cycles be run 45 times this doubles the sample 45 times, resulting in 35 TRILLION copies why mandate 45 cycles, if the intended threshold to determine a positive test is supposed to be 40 cycles (pg 35) ? An obvious rationale is that labs are to use the extra cycles generate positive test results where none should exist In either case, the doctor in the NY TImes article is adamant taht the threshold is too high "Tests with thresholds so high may detect not just live virus but also genetic fragments, leftovers from infection that pose no particular risk — akin to finding a hair in a room long after a person has left, Dr. Mina said. Any test with a cycle threshold above 35 is too sensitive, agreed Juliet Morrison, a virologist at the University of California, Riverside. “I’m shocked that people would think that 40 could represent a positive,” she said."

The bigger point of the story is that the PCR test is not even searching for Covid virus cells in one's body It is searching for computer manipulated RNA particles created that may exist in all coronavirus particles in your body, not just the covid one. The coronavirus, including the common cold, is the most prevalent virus in the human body. Congratulations- you are positive for the common cold 1 2

They extorted trillions of dollars out of our country... At the time no one cared... Because they were scared... Millions of people are going to have to examine the quality of their problem solving skills when the dust settles... I can see why the global financial system views us as livestock...

B-Man Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 More on the above: SCIENCE IS REAL: The Failed Experiment of Covid Lockdowns: New data suggest that social distancing and reopening haven’t determined the spread. TrendMacro, my analytics firm, tallied the cumulative number of reported cases of Covid-19 in each state and the District of Columbia as a percentage of population, based on data from state and local health departments aggregated by the Covid Tracking Project. We then compared that with the timing and intensity of the lockdown in each jurisdiction. That is measured not by the mandates put in place by government officials, but rather by observing what people in each jurisdiction actually did, along with their baseline behavior before the lockdowns. This is captured in highly detailed anonymized cellphone tracking data provided by Google and others and tabulated by the University of Maryland’s Transportation Institute into a “Social Distancing Index.” Measuring from the start of the year to each state’s point of maximum lockdown—which range from April 5 to April 18—it turns out that lockdowns correlated with a greater spread of the virus. States with longer, stricter lockdowns also had larger Covid outbreaks. The five places with the harshest lockdowns—the District of Columbia, New York, Michigan, New Jersey and Massachusetts—had the heaviest caseloads. It could be that strict lockdowns were imposed as a response to already severe outbreaks. But the surprising negative correlation, while statistically weak, persists even when excluding states with the heaviest caseloads. And it makes no difference if the analysis includes other potential explanatory factors such as population density, age, ethnicity, prevalence of nursing homes, general health or temperature. The only factor that seems to make a demonstrable difference is the intensity of mass-transit use. We ran the experiment a second time to observe the effects on caseloads of the reopening that began in mid-April. We used the same methodology, but started from each state’s peak of lockdown and extended to July 31. Confirming the first experiment, there was a tendency (though fairly weak) for states that opened up the most to have the lightest caseloads. The states that had the big summer flare-ups in the so-called “Sunbelt second wave”—Arizona, California, Florida and Texas—are by no means the most opened up, politicized headlines notwithstanding. The lesson is not that lockdowns made the spread of Covid-19 worse—although the raw evidence might suggest that—but that lockdowns probably didn’t help, and opening up didn’t hurt. This defies common sense. In theory, the spread of an infectious disease ought to be controllable by quarantine. Evidently not in practice, though we are aware of no researcher who understands why not. We’re not the only researchers to have discovered this statistical relationship. When people say “follow the science,” ask them what science they’re talking about. 2
