==Dominion Diagnostics Offering COVID-19 Serology Antibody Testing

==

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I., June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Diagnostics is pleased to now offer COVID-19 serology antibody testing. Serological tests for SARS-CoV-2, while not intended as a primary diagnostic tool for COVID-19, are used to detect antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These antibodies are produced following activation of the body's adaptive immune response. This process is triggered after viral exposure and results in the virus's destruction and subsequent elimination from the body. At this time, it is not known whether these antibodies provide immunity; however, SARS-CoV-2 serological tests may aid in recognizing high-risk populations, enhancing our understanding of the virus' epidemiology and identifying individuals with past asymptomatic infections.

Dominion Diagnostics utilizes the Siemens SARS-CoV-2 Total Antibody test to identify two antibodies, Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and Immunoglobulin G (IgG). Both antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus strain that causes the disease COVID 19. IgM is produced during the initial immune response and can be detected as early as several days after infection. This antibody is relatively short-lived, remaining in the body for 3 to 4 weeks. The second antibody, IgG, is produced in greater quantities and begins to appear shortly after IgM. The IgG antibodies may serve as the basis for long-term immunity, possibly conferring resistance for months or years.

Results from the Siemens SARS-CoV-2 Total Antibody test demonstrated 100% sensitivity for all samples tested ≥ 14 days following a positive PCR result. Studies conducted on samples collected prior to the COVID-19 outbreak established specificity at 99.8%. Performance characteristics were also evaluated in-house using samples collected prior to the pandemic and validation specimens provided by a CLIA/CAP-certified reference lab. 100% correlation was observed.

"After seeing so many unreliable serology tests come to market in the last few months, we are excited to offer an assay that performs in accordance with Dominion's high-quality standards," said Dr. Charlene Johnson, Vice President of Laboratory Operations/Laboratory Director.

Red text fail.

Seems they've been around quite a while, in the addiction space early days.

Not seeing an immediate connection to the voting side.

Their test is surely suspect though, and relevant, given the Elon Musk tweet about 50/50 negative/positive for 4 tests. VERY CONCERNING.

Being used for lockdowns now?

Generation Z: A Conservative Generation?

Generation Z is not as liberal as it may appear to be. On a majority liberal campus, there are a considerable number of students who are members of conservative organizations. College Republicans, Turning Point U.S.A., and Young Americans for Liberty are all great examples.

Why Democrats Should Be Losing Sleep Over Generation Z

There has been much talk about the Millennial generation being entitled, lazy, and narcissistic. And while Millennials like myself were busy fending off the harsh criticisms and stereotypes constantly flung at our generation, a whole new demographic was slowly emerging from the shadows. Hello, Generation Z! The fiscally responsible, tattoo hating, Republican leaning group, touted by conservatives as their best hope for the future, and as the antithesis of Millennials.

ty anon, saw that, am one who has also been affected. Still hopeful, and working not to do long-term damage, but reconciliation may never occur in one case (one of the 4-6% bit there).

There was a Q post about not alienating within family. Should have heeded the wisdom of that more fully.

Looking forward to the "Conspiracy no more" phase!

>It’s a deliberate strategic action that positions our forces nationwide when the SHTF happens.

Very plausible, and would like to believe that is the case. Perhaps even an "issue with safety" found near the end game, after they are deployed, which stops actual administration.

Also, there is the aspect of Ultra-Cold storage requirements (-70deg freezers). These are specialized. And so storage done by MIL or Hospitals, but will not be distributed to local clinics, as they don't have the physical assets in place.

This is the case of Pfizer, and expected to be the case of Moderna solution.

Could be real requirement, or part of the "plan" to keep control of any samples, who knows?

Also speaks to how much time is still left before THE END game.

Mil needs to be broadly deployed to set the stage. We believe some heavy equipment is already in place, but much more needed.

ty for sharing anon. Good nightshift material.

>>11655612

Wish I had switched years earlier anon.

>>11655725 Good de-programming qualities.

Use should be balanced.

Strains important (find narrow leaf / sativa for deprogramming purposes).

>>11655751 Have switched, some time ago. In hindsight, only wish had not waited so long. LOVE linux now!

Also have become big proponent of FOSS and OSS in general.

>>11655777 digits chek'd!!

Need to crack some beans. Have quite the strain library, including some esoteric landraces. Been collecting for years, but have also made many many myself. (Males are my friends!)

>>11655802 Cool, will keep in mind. Run Manjaro and KDE. Would likely go pure ARCH and i3 windows manager, but always open to new directions.

Noted, like strains with "legs"
