Haha,
You like to play dumb when you don’t have a counter argument . Btw, why was Donny sedated again today during the press conference? adderal again ?
^^^^So this is considered acceptable within the new "a little lax" rules regarding "political stuff"? LMAO.

On how many tests? Positivity rate increase or it doesn't really matter.
500 cases using the turbo-powered US tests = 50 cases in other countries.

The PCR test amplifies genetic matter from the virus in cycles; the fewer cycles required, the greater the amount of virus, or viral load, in the sample. The greater the viral load, the more likely the patient is to be contagious.

This number of amplification cycles needed to find the virus, called the cycle threshold, is never included in the results sent to doctors and coronavirus patients, although it could tell them how infectious the patients are.

In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found.

On Thursday, the United States recorded 45,604 new coronavirus cases, according to a database maintained by The Times. If the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts and New York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4,500 of those people may actually need to isolate and submit to contact tracing.

One solution would be to adjust the cycle threshold used now to decide that a patient is infected. Most tests set the limit at 40, a few at 37. This means that you are positive for the coronavirus if the test process required up to 40 cycles, or 37, to detect the virus.

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.

A more reasonable cutoff would be 30 to 35, she added. Dr. Mina said he would set the figure at 30, or even less. Those changes would mean the amount of genetic material in a patient’s sample would have to be 100-fold to 1,000-fold that of the current standard for the test to return a positive result — at least, one worth acting on.

what are you talking about. Have you been paying attention to the last 6 months and shutting down aspects of the country...facepalm..

I mean you are deep in derangement if you are still clinging to a conversation in February where the President has already said and said in March he didnt want to panic the country

Man you're just totally gone. trump has done nothing to help the country get over the virus. If he didn't downplay it when it first started we'd be in a much better position than where we are now. I knew you'd have a lazy excuse ready to go though so I don't know why I bother.

Bac, we know everything is about one thing for The Left.

But all we can do is continue to tell the truth and do Good works.

Remember,
Evil is powerless, if the Good are not afraid.

Proud and Bac are so far gone they are never come back , even to the middle . They love dictators and totalitarian regimes now . This is what they do in those type of countries . Donny is running a banana republic and they look the other way and just blame the “left”.

Your boy trump let them get away with it!
 
This is the guy who you guys think is for “America “ forget about his awful lying Covid response . Not that this shocks anyone who’s been paying attention but look at this below . He wants to and is taking away everyone’s fundamental right to vote . He’s literally taking away our democracy before your very eyes and some of you still support him.
He knows the more Americans that vote the worse chance he has . In the end , we are all Americans ; we should all be allowed to vote without interference and misinformation .

/\ /\ /\ WOW. More fake BS from a commie. Let us vote MURPHY why are you holding us back ?
