Oops: It Looks Like the Vast Majority of Positive COVID Results Should Have Been Negative

[GURPS]

According to The New York Times, potentially 90 percent of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 have such insignificant amounts of the virus present in their bodies that such individuals do not need to isolate nor are they candidates for contact tracing. Leading public health experts are now concerned that overtesting is responsible for misdiagnosing a huge number of people with harmless amounts of the virus in their systems.

"Most of these people are not likely to be contagious, and identifying them may contribute to bottlenecks that prevent those who are contagious from being found in time," warns The Times.

So, if overtesting is causing "bottlenecks" that keep us from identifying contagious people in time, what does The New York Times believe the solution should be? More testing!

It helps to understand The Times' religious devotion to testing if one understands that Democrats have long-since committed to taking the polar opposite position of whatever President Trump believes. It's a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome. If Trump is hopeful about the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine, then Democrats believe the drug will kill you. If Trump believes we should focus less on testing and more on treatments, Democrats and the media will insist we do nothing but testing and forget about treatments altogether.

I have read of Conspiracy theories and some say the whole thing was a trick to ruin the economy and get rid of Trump.
I thought it was BS, but now I am not so sure.
It certainly did ruin the economy, and it appears it was way overblown.
The Democrats want masks right up until, the election and they want schools shut down, they want people frightened so they can get m,ail in ballots.
I still believe the virus was not half as bad as it was said to be, it killed a lot of old people but that was because most of them were about to die anyway.
Well Conspiracy theory or not it certainly [played into the Democrats hands,and it continues to work for them.

I do think the tide is turning on the power hungry communist socialist liberals. People are waking up; so to speak.
