Tests for suspected coronavirus patients in the US might not actually work, the head of the CDC said

A worker in protective gear checks a train passenger arriving at Xianning, near Wuhan on January 24, 2020.Tests being used by US officials for suspected cases of coronavirus are not 100% reliable, officials said Friday.

Robert Redfield, the CDC's director, pointed out problems with the test at a briefing on the virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, where some 200 people have died from it. In at least one case, a patient who had not been to China caught the infection, confirming that it is capable of spreading on its own within the US.

"If a person has HIV and I try their blood, I can tell you 100% whether they have HIV. That's not even near the case with this.", the coronavirus is difficult to diagnose.

This was part of their plan. Distribute tests that give false positives to create panic. Then distribute the vaccine and force people to take it. Giving them the virus.

' The CDC says it currently has no way to test for the virus before somebody starts displaying symptoms, meaning that there is no way to identify people during the virus' incubation period, which is up to 14 days.' Wow.

coronavirusindia CoronavirusOutbreak Coronarvirus test might not actually work 🤷‍♂️ Sounds worrisome.

We all going to die!!

NSWHealth MackayIM Do we hold back on isolation discharges then?

lookner So, there's no point in testing then. Straight to quarantine. Hurry up US, make a test that works....!

lookner no, that not what he said/mains, test data might be skewed due to circumstances eg bad blood sample medicines might lower a titer below detection a fresh blood retest few days later cab give clear diag. false pos/neg is always risk if you sample on details.

lookner Oh that's lovely

lookner What?! WTH?!

lookner Come on really?

Of course they don’t work. Coronavirus isn’t real

Where’s the BBB when you need them 😂

lookner Well, that's comforting..

Speaking of coronavirus. This Maduro is visionary. Four years ago, he began closing the airlines that arrived at Venezuela and isolated the entire country. Now the coronavirus has not so easy way to reach the country. What a bold is this Nicholas.
