Just The News ^

Posted on 05/04/2020 3:55:26 PM PDT by Factuality

At a press conference on Friday, State Health Commissioner Norman Oliver gave an example of a single patient being tested four times for COVID-19. "What we're doing now is, we're counting all four tests," Oliver said.

Makes sense. All states should follow Virginia in everything they do.

What sort of demented insane insanity do we actually exist in nowadays?

In what strange dimension of time and space would this be acceptable?

Do people actually vote for the nutjobs who would do something like this?

They are not counting that as 4 positives; they are counting that as “tests run”. Most states were already counting every test they ran, and so it looked like Virginia was not running as many tests. Now Virginia reports how many total tests they have run, AND how many different PEOPLE they have tested, so you can have both pieces of information.

But the “positive” results are still by people, not test.

Almost all COVID-19 TESTS are paid by the taxpayer, Medicaid or Medicare. Do a FOIA in your state or to the feds asking for info on taxpayers paying for multiple tests.

What if you are tested today and clean. Then You walk away from the test and into the sneeze pattern of Coronavirus mist. Medical professionals should always make sure they are not spreading even when they don’t show symptoms.

The same with the janitor at the Nursing Home.

(excerpts) Re-opening of state tied to declining case numbers
That policy may serve to sharply drive up case numbers, which may in turn significantly delay the re-opening of the state.

I was wondering the same re South Korea:

1 May: 9 News Australia: ‘Dead’ coronavirus particles cause recovered patients to test positive
By Inga Neilsen
South Korean health officials say recovered coronavirus patients may test positive to the virus for a second time due to “dead particles” in their system.
The Korea Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said 292 people in the country who were cleared of the deadly virus, later tested positive with officials originally thinking this was due to reinfection.
Now, it has been discovered that residual fragments of the virus are likely responsible...

Second-time diagnoses in South Korea continue to steadily rise – two weeks ago, repeat diagnoses accounted for 2 per cent of the country’s recovered patients.
This week, the figure had risen to 2.7 per cent and 3.4 per cent among child patients...

“No new case has yet been confirmed that resulted from exposure to the re-positive cases. The contracts are still under monitoring.”

the madness continues.

If Gov. Northam’s lips are moving, he’s lying. Otherwise, he is just getting ready to lie or condoning the lies in his minions.

“What we’re doing now is, we’re counting all four tests,”

So the Democrats are taking their elections strategy and applying it to the corona virus pandemic.

Correct. And who’s going to do a G.D. about it?? AG Barr?? ANY of the States?

As if the judicial arm of the 3 co-equal “I’ll scratch your back, if...” would take it up to begin.

Reading the article (and I grant the article is poorly worded) it seems to say the exact opposite of what you are saying.

This double counting is already happening in Florida. Nobody seems to care, too.
