Imagine.
Hope.
Prayer.
Mighty thin Q.
Anorexic.
Flu deaths have been combined with pneumonia deaths for a long time. Reason is to inflate fear for influenza so people get the vaccine that never works because the CDC always guesses wrong.
Kek.
Aardvark are totally immune to Coronavirus and will be the new staple for America’s dinner table.
All of these tests now available for a virus that emerged 6 months ago is astounding! Hard to believe how fast and focused the biotechs were to come up with the variety of testing.
Really fucking hard to believe.
The conformation of test.
That takes time.
What are the sensitivity and specificity for all these tests. To be a valid test those numbers are needed. Such numbers require study on real world patients.
What has been done to confirm PCR primers do not cross react with other Spp. of coronavirus? What is the likelihood of antibody being a false positive? You cannot guess. Each test developed would require those controls.
You would be limited by mutation rate of this positive sense RNA virus. Drift is a given. New primers and perpetual sequence analysis neede to keep up. I do not know about regression analysis of primers via computer models. Is that even reliable?
