There is evidence of cops murdering a restrained person by suffocating them. Get a life!

For individuals the quick antibody tests that were being extensively used are worthless. They are useful for population surveys but worthless for individual diagnostics. There was no centralized data base for the U.S. until sometime in May, and that data base co-mingles antibody and live covid...

https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/covid-19-antibody-testing-tougher-than-true-false In the United States, eight organizations had received emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration for antibody tests, as of April 30. But the FDA announced in March that test makers...

business as usual for the corrupt Trump admin. During TARP (Obama Admin) every recipient was publicly disclosed at the Treasury website, the amounts and the amount paid back.

You are right , jem. the U.S., has made a mess of the data. The WHO finding that asymptomatic transmission is very rare is undoubtedly correct. It is consistent with all the facts as known now, and is supported by very careful studies with a closely related corona virus, SARS. 30 to 40 percent...

Far from it. THE WHO IS CORRECT -- Asymptomatic transmission is very rare!

Well then people were just making a wild guess then weren't they? We had ELIZA, an expensive, but highly specific test, however the first antibody tests for Covid-2 made widely available in the U.S., and elsewhere, were insufficiently specific finger prick tests. These are quick and relatively...

Redfield here is muddying the waters by speaking of the pre-symptomatic, who are at the time also asymptomatic, but all but ~7-15% of them will go on to develop symptoms. This must not be conflated with the large number of people who tested positive for antibodies but never experienced any...

:rolleyes:

The "swab test" is for live virus. It also has problems because it is PCR based and therefore tremendously sensitive to a few molecules of contamination. It depends very much on the skill and knowledge of those doing the lab work. When done properly, it is highly reliable. In the best of...

This is consistent with the number of asymptomatic covid infections being reported being wildly incorrect. Its based on highly inaccurate antibody testing giving many false positives. The false positives are neither carrying antibodies to Covid-2 nor are they immune to Covid-2. They won't have...

Well, I didn't need to look her up, she's infamous as "Typhoid Mary," It's still not clear to me what your point is. I'm sure it is a good one, just not sure what it is. Typhoid is of course a bacterium and is transmitted mainly through unsanitary practice, quite different from the way...

I am not ignoring your post, but I had trouble understanding it. Perhaps you could re-phrase it.

it IS like the "flu"! The difference is this: No vaccine. No recognized efficacious treatment. So many more end up contracting it, and a correspondingly greater number die from it.

This false sense of security comes from distorted data. It is not at all pleasant for the young, and, as with other corona virus infections, it is still dangerous even for the young -- exactly as other flu viruses are for those who have not been vaccinated.

The science has never changed, nor has it been wrong. Presymptomatic (who by definition are asymptomatic) will be capable of transmitting the disease. Exactly the same as with other Corona viruses. The confusion comes because horribly flawed "dip stick-like" serological tests identified many...

It is only spread but people with an active infection. And except for a a few percent of those, the infected are symptomatic or pre-symptomatic.* This feature is like the flu. But this particular virus is more dangerous because fewer people have partial or complete immunity, because there is...

Of course asymptomatic are not transmitters, what strange logic would suggest they should be? The number of a asymptomatic is incorrect in any case. These are people that tested positive by hugely unreliable finger prick serological tests. They showed positive for antibodies when in fact they...
