"If we weren't testing over 100,000 people a day for coronavirus we would have considered the epidemic over by now. If you look at the excess death figures for this year, they rose significantly in March and then fell again and have stayed at or below the 5 year average ever since. All the lockdown actions being taken by the government are being done on what might be going to happen according to the models." No we'd just have even less informed decisions than we do now. | |||

Either that or 1000s a day could be dying because we wouldn't know who had it Seems every government in the world thinks different to you though | |||

" Well, I don't, because that's hogwash." I agree. It's bollocks. " Sorry but testing doesnt make new infections, complacency makes new infections." Please reread. The point I'm making is exactly that. The infections were already rising much faster than our testing was picking them up. Something about the tip of the iceberg. | |||

"I love that line. "Cases are up because we're testing more". Yeah, no shit. The cases were already there, we're just finding them now with testing. " Absolutely correct There is data on number of tests and number of cases. There is not a linear relationship between the 2. Cases are increasing faster than the rate at which testing is increasing. | |||

There seems to be an argument that maintains that restrictions have no effect on the spread of the disease and are only there because of the governments need to control things. If people want to argue against restrictions, they can't use Covid-19 stats to support their claim. You can't use the benefit from from restrictions as evidence to say they shouldn't exist. | |||

"This claim that more people die from suicide than Covid-19 always comes without numbers attached. Last time I fact checked this was against a claim that 127 people had committed suicide that week, but 27 had died from COVID-19. On the face of it, this sounds like a good argument. But... 27 people had died of Covid-19 the previous DAY. Precovid, 110 people took their lives every week so the INCREASE in suicide was 17. Which is just over 2 a day. As I said in a previous post you can't compare current Covid-19 deaths with other COD. You need to compare them with what the death rate WOULD have been without restrictions. " But we've no idea how much effect restrictions have, all we have is educated guesses. | |||

" And having witnessed it in the past, those with suicidal tendencies will have those and can be triggered at any time with any event so theoretically that person commiting suicide due to lockdown might have committed suicide if a friend or relative caught Covid and got sick or died so it's definitely not a straightforward comparison. I do sympathise with those who cannot get appointments or have had surgery deferred and I'd be concerned of there was a rise in deaths due to cancer for example but I haven't seen any reliable figures here or elsewhere | |||

It’s designed to pick up a signature of DNA and RNA of the person being tested.” There is absolutely no evidence that the inventor of the PCR process said this. PCR is used for a number of scientific processes, and in general, it amplifies bits of genetic information so that they can be detected within samples.

PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, is just the process by which this genetic material can be detected by scientists.

In this, neither the author of the article, nor Dr Mullis said PCR testing does not work or only identifies the DNA or RNA of the person being tested. The author actually quotes Dr Mullis as saying “Quantitative PCR is an oxymoron” within the context of testing viral load (the amount of virus present) in people with HIV. This doesn’t mean he thought PCR testing didn’t work at all, but that there are limitations in detecting the specific levels of a virus from a sample using PCR testing. | |||

"If we weren't testing over 100,000 people a day for coronavirus we would have considered the epidemic over by now. If you look at the excess death figures for this year, they rose significantly in March and then fell again and have stayed at or below the 5 year average ever since. All the lockdown actions being taken by the government are being done on what might be going to happen according to the models." That's like total reverse logic and like burying your head in the sand. No one with any sense would consider that of any government! | |||

"Sorry forgot to post the link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=share&v=Ljxah4NrYKU" As of February 12th, 2020, 28 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Korea, with the first case observed in a traveler residing in Wuhan, China. The SARS-CoV-2 was isolated from a Korean patient who had self-administered antipyretics for initial symptoms such as chills and fever. The patient had experienced intermittent coughing with sputum 3 days after the administration of antipyretics. The SARS-CoV-2 could replicate in other cells (Vero E6 and Caco-II cells), in addition to Vero cells (data not shown). The first SARS-CoV-2 was successfully isolated by inoculating human airway epithelial cells with bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid samples from a patient with pneumonia [16].

Really ? That seems just a little odd and I be rather suspicious that it's a little white lie."I know someone who is tested every week, must have had nearly 20 tests already.. they have not had a 90% false positive rate. They did get 1 recently which would suggest a 5% false positive rate if it they are an accurate representation of the wider testing. | |||
