This means factors in no way relevant to a given virus can make the test read positive. In that case, the patient would be falsely told he \u201chas the coronavirus.\u201d But it gets worse. Traditionally, antibody tests reading positive were taken as a good sign for the patient: his immune system had contacted a germ and defeated it. Then, starting in 1984, the science was turned upside down: a positive test was, astoundingly, taken to mean the patient was ill or would soon become ill.<\/p>\n<p>The PCR test (which requires excellent technicians who will not make any number of possible mistakes) takes a tissue sample from a patient which might contain a tiny virus particle(s) much too small to be observed\u2014and blows it up many times, so it can be seen. However, the test says nothing reliable about HOW MUCH virus is in the patient\u2019s body. Why is that important? Because millions and millions of replicating virus in the body are necessary to even begin talking about actual illness. A positive PCR test, nevertheless, will be taken to mean the patient \u201chas the epidemic disease.\u201d \u2014An even deeper issue: where is the PRIOR PROOF that the PCR is testing for a virus that actually causes disease?<\/p>\n<div class=\"a124987f279ada0338469db0cf4fd76e\" data-index=\"9\">\n<div id=\"rc-widget-4410e8\" data-rc-widget=\"\" data-widget-host=\"habitat\" data-endpoint=\"\/\/trends.revcontent.com\" data-widget-id=\"109435\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The prospect of these two tests being done on Americans is not comforting, to say the least.
