The Verdict Is In...

Oops: It Looks Like the Vast Majority of Positive COVID Results Should Have Been Negative

Testing, testing, testing -- that's how Pelosi and the Democrats say we'll defeat the coronavirus. Meanwhile, President Trump and his administration are conducting "operation warp speed" at breakneck pace to develop therapeutics, diagnostics, and a vaccine for the Wuhan flu. Unlike testing, treatments will actually do something for you when you come down sick with the disease. But now we're learning the overwhelming majority of those who have tested positive for the coronavirus should really have been found negative after all.

According to The New York Times, potentially 90 percent of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 have such insignificant amounts of the virus present in their bodies that such individuals do not need to isolate nor are they candidates for contact tracing. Leading public health experts are now concerned that overtesting is responsible for misdiagnosing a huge number of people with harmless amounts of the virus in their systems.

"Most of these people are not likely to be contagious, and identifying them may contribute to bottlenecks that prevent those who are contagious from being found in time," warns The Times.

So, if overtesting is causing "bottlenecks" that keep us from identifying contagious people in time, what does The New York Times believe the solution should be? More testing!

This is why this did not spread as exponentially as advertised and why asymptomatic carriers are a myth.

It behaves exactly like every other airborne respiratory virus. It isn't magic. Not everyone exposed gets sick because their immune system defeats it. Having a mild infection does bot mean you are necessarily contagious

sorry, don't read or need xenophobic bullshit.

Works for you, though!

The NY Times is fake news. The tests are coming back at 100% negative because the virus is a hoax cooked up in China to stop Trump from making our economy great.

^^You know, the sad thing is, I am really not sure if you are being facetious or not, with that whole "Virus is a hoax to damage Trump" thing.

I want to give you the benefit of the doubt though. There are SOME sane, rational posters on here. But there are a lot of ignorant trolls who seriously try to spread crap like that who ARE serious (like the OP for example).

 

[Wrong Element]

The problem with this is that there's no way of knowing that someone has (or had) a "harmless case" until after the fact.

No, and you misspelled it.

In fact it's almost useless to know today, when the very same person could become infected tomorrow.

Those 180,000 are still alive?!
w00t!

 

[Conager]

1.9 million projected dead are very much alive, even if we pretend that dead with Covid equals dead from Covid is a valid metric or that mere suspicion of same is not lsughable. It's still less than the 1957 flu that actually killed, (not was vaguely blamed for) a higher percentage of the population.

I fully expect the panic-peddlers to (barely) limp that highly inflated figure over 200,000 by election day when the virus will become the winter 2020 flu season.

 

[rockcasbah]

Anyone make any money covid shorting the markets?

No. People wouldn’t do that.

 

[Conager]

Lots of people came up on the upswing, didn't they?

The market obviously knows this doesnt last past the third of November. Even Biden telegraphed a timeframe for mask-wearing of "three months" which just happened to be 10 days post election.

Kind of handy to give Democrat operatives an excuse to be masked at the polls.

Kinda like not knowing which Muslims are terrorists or not, right?

Nonsense. Depending on how many iterations of the RNA to get a positive it tells you how high the viral load is. Theower the viral load, the less infectious you are because you have less viruses to shed.

Temperature checks are effective because the body does the same thing. When you are febrile, the body is saying it has recognized a significant viral load.

I don't recall you objecting to MERS or Ebola as "Xenophobic."
