One in five people tested for COVID-19 in Los Angeles are positive — as the region grapples with an alarming outbreak that officials have called a “human disaster.”

The test positivity rate climbed to 21 percent in Los Angeles County, which recorded 9,142 new cases on Monday, Patch Los Angeles reported.

“That is a human disaster, and one that was avoidable,” Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis said.

“... human disaster...avoidable” — Solis further says “I’ll tell you how after I’m re-elected.”

“One in five IS positive, dammit ...”

Yeah, us and them really needs to pad better attention.

I attribute the inability of so many to speak proper English to the infiltration of space aliens into our land.

Yeah, but nobody’s really following them.

In Los Angeles, the police raided multiple massive house parties with up to 600 people on New Year’s Eve.

Apparently TikTok is the new way to organize these major events.

One “human disaster” is another’s progress towards herd immunity.

It’s incorrect, obviously. If the test were “are you human”, there would never be a less than 100% positivity rating and it would be useless.

Table 1 in this link references the exact gene sequences used in RT-PCR testing: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7144809/

Those sequences are only found in SARS-CoV-2. They’re the sequences that differentiate SARS-CoV-2 from anything else.

The two main issues with RT-PCR testing are:

1) A high false-negative rate. Nearly 100% false negative on the day of exposure. 67% false negative by day 4. https://www.acc.org/latest-in-cardiology/journal-scans/2020/05/18/13/42/variation-in-false-negative-rate-of-reverse

And 2) An inability to distinguish between an infection likely to cause symptomatic disease and the mere presence of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material. This is particularly problematic for individuals who have already beaten the infection, but continue to test positive because viral proteins remain present at the swab collection point (typically the nasal passages).

Doesn’t California have some of the most-onerous lockdown rules?

Yes, they only apply to Caucasian and Asian citizens.

Lockdowns do not apply to illegals and POC!

They can party, protest and mingle with zero worries. We will take care of them and blame the Deploreables and Trump for the illegals and POC who get CV19 after not living by the protocols.

Remember the BLM protests!

I agree with you to an extent. But consider “spiked” batches of test kits.

I’ll take the inventor of the PCR test at his word. These tests are not to be used as a diagnostic!

First off, don’t believe anything the crooks in government in La La Land tell you.

If that’s true, then they shouldn’t need vaccines, and they should be done with the outbreak in a few weeks.
