................. Typical CYA response from the testers. Glenn
Well, not that much CYA.
A positive PCR test is considered to have a reliability of 98 %. If your test is +, you most probably are cov+.
A negative PCR test is considered to have a ........ 60 to 70 % reliability. So .... if your test is negative ..... well ..... make your choice.
Please keep the following in mind. The PCR is usefull / reliable when you have a lot of virus in your nose, generally at symptoms very early appearance. Later on, the virus does migrate, for example in your lungs, and the "nose test" will show negative.
People with negative PCR and ed lungs full of virus have been observed.
So .... Take care.
Furthermore, the WHO is currently being barbecued by some 250 doctors all around the planet claiming that the virus IS airborne. For these guys, somebody talking or breathing heavily (not to talk about those stupids coughing or sneezing without care) ARE generating tiny tiny droplets that "floats" a long time in the air, with enough virus load to infect you, beacuase these tiny tiny drops will straightaway go deep into your lungs or land on your humid eye balls and immediately start the Party.
While "social distancing" protects you from BIG drops quickly falling to the floor (watch you soles when coming back from the supermarket !), the aerosol/spray cloud will remain airborne and any air motion can bring it to you. Opening windows to have an air flow can be important, example doctor/hospital waiting room.
Here it comes again about wearing a mask AND GLASSES at the grocery or the supermarket or in a street with many people walking in and that tiny wind all along the street ....
India, Australia, Germany, Italy, Spain, China are all starting new lock out.
Don't get paranoiac, but BE prudent.
