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.

Where have I heard something like this before?

Oh:

WHO statement, “Based on the preliminary information from the Chinese investigation team, no evidence of significant human-to-human transmission and no health care worker infections have been reported”; https://www.who.int/csr/don/05-january-2020-pneumonia-of-unkown-cause-china/en/

Like I would take medical advice from the NYT

Either that, or if you drop the 'positives', both recovered and resistant, who have definitely been exposed (according to the tests) then the death rate goes way up...and you can stump harder for a vaccine many people simply aren't interested in getting.
