How many of these players testing poz for COVID are testing false poz due to a different infection within the Coronavirus family, such as a common cold?

The accuracy of testing relative to the emphasis and severity put on convenient numbers is bullshite.

That's the test for "past infection" not current infection.

It literally shows that in the image. I know y'all can read.

Actually reading the two short sentences you posted reveals that this is about antibody tests.

Several doctors said that the average death rate for elderly is not much different than before the virus. Also said that any death , even natural causes are getting sold as Covid-19 deaths.

This is my field of expertise and I definitely can tell you that the plethora of "fly by night" tests that were released on the market is staggering. Forty five 945) of these antibody tests have been removed from the market and the EUA (Emergency Authorization Act) due to a lack of specificity. The IgG antibody they were testing is more akin to the typical Coronavirus that causes the common cold. I see people all the time who have tested "positive" and then when retested with an actual functional legitimate test are "negative" and they don't understand why.

Check the number of deaths.
Positive test to deaths are now at flu numbers. It will kill you if you are uncertain groups such as above 70 with lung or heart issues. But healthy 20 somethings stand a little to none chance of death.

I saw on twitter where a guy had slept in past his testing appointment and missed it but got mail a few days later saying he had tested positive. Grain of salt and all that, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me.

Close to zero

You linked a statement about the ANTIBODY study, not the nasal swab for current infection

Specificity is close to 100% for the nasal swabs

Antibodies tests have been wildly acknowledged to be hit or miss, which is what this is specifically discussing. It literally says "Tests For Past Infection" at the top.

You do understand the difference in nasal swab/current virus tests and antibodies tests, right?

Yes, I know it was antibody testing. I did not know that there were different tests, one for past and one for current infection. I learn something every day.

I mean if that’s true wouldn’t like literally everyone pretty much test positive for anti bodies?

Just seems that the logic there is a little flawed or the test is.

I had a co-worker test IGG for having the antibodies and never had symptoms. I also had another co-worker test positive with the nasal test on Monday, no symptoms, no fever. He paid to be re-tested the very next day and had a negative result from the nasal test. I wonder how much this is happening.

How could miss you that news, about the different tests?

My guess is that you likely misread something in your Crime Stats and got confused about what you were reading

What crime Stats are you gonna pull up to defend this kind of dirtbaggery:

More police brutality gets exposed

Isn't this the same thread that has been posted here dozens of times?

Is this one any better?
