Well… Yes and no….

I am extremely skeptical of recombinant tests for this reason. They are extremely inaccurate tools no matter how you deploy them and are really only useful for comparison studies… IE - if 80% test positive versus 60% test positive, then you can guess that there was more virus activity in the 80% positive group, assuming there were no other factors.

Recombinant tests use polymerase processes to amplify DNA or RNA segments as found in an organism. Typically, you would test for multiple reactions, picking several unique-ish markers within the virus and then you would only consider a test positive if you got a positive reaction on, say, 5 out of 8 markers IF the person was known to have contact with someone having the virus or to a region where the virus was present.

Otherwise, you would need 7/8 to call it positive, if not 8/8.

The reason being is that recombinant tests have very wide margins of error just on accurately reproducing a protein. They can shift a few codons here and there and then you get positive results because of slop in the transcriptase.

Also, genetic markers are often not as unique as would be desired and the same sequence can be found in whole or in part in many different life forms.

Because viruses use human and human-like proteins to exploit the cell, it makes sense they would contain many shared markers with humans, which means that when the body has high counts of damaged cells, the odds of encountering false positives increases orders of magnitude.

Which is a long, round about way of saying - unless they have an electron micrograph of corona viruses in your system, they just have some marginally educated guesses as to what the hell their test actually means.

These tests would never pass a double blind trial.

Thinking more mundane - the simple answer is that governments and institutions are getting loans to implement these testing protocols. Someone is getting paid to produce them. Someone is getting paid for positive test results.

We had some people, here, go to the local health department and sign up for tests. The line was absurdly long (some workplaces were mandating it), so they left having never actually been tested - but signing on the paper they were in the office.

A few days later, they got a letter from the health department stating they were positive.

The people who are paying for this want to fuel panic and alarm. They something to veil the lockdowns and the forced vaccinations under. That is the virus - and positive cases mean money payments for locals. Easy to get cash starved areas or just greedy politicos aboard.
