If it’s already widespread, then why are 90% of tests coming back negative?

More likely: you didn’t have it.



Also, the tests deployed right now return negative for recovered people...


So a huge portion of the population had it, including you and your family a mere 3-4 weeks ago, but now only 10% of those tested actively have it, many of the other 90% are fully recovered in the last few weeks? But hospitals are mysteriously only now seeing an influx of cases?


Me and my family would not be a huge percentage. My kids school? Gets bigger.

I also just was told the Z-Pak I was put on is similar to what treats this. So, really not sure what to think. But my entire office was put sick for the month leading to this. My neighbor is the one that told me about the medicine, since she just finished a round.

So, maybe? Our hospitals are not seeing influxes if severe cases. They are getting swamped from panic and lack of supplies, from what I'm seeing. Not severe cases of people about to die.


the PCR test (throat swap) only test for active infections; we need antibody tests to determine if someone had the decision in the past
