    Abbott ramping up...

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/health-news/abbott-just-launched-a-new-test-that-can-tell-if-youve-ever-had-the-coronavirus-and-it-plans-to-pump-out-millions-this-month/ar-BB141YcO?li=BBnb7Kz

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        How accurate?

        According to Abbott:

        • It can exclude false positives 99.6% of the time and exclude false negatives 100% of the time for patients tested 14 days after symptoms began, the company said Monday. *

          I suppose that means that for ambiguous data, they do not give a result ("exclude"). No matter how messy your data is, you can always take that step to get better specificity and sensitivity, at the expense of providing no result at all for some % of samples.

          Education is extremely important.

            Bottom line...If it sez you're negative, you're negative.

              I've been tested twice. Once when Sarah first came down with it, and again last Friday before my surgery on Monday. Everyone having surgery is now required to be tested before the surgery..

              Both times they stuck these ling thing Q tip looking things up my nose. For the Chinese virus they stick one up each nose hole waaay up into your head... then while they're testing you they also test you for flu A and flu B by taking another Q tip looking thing and rolling it around in the opening of your nose holes. There are two small plastic machines sitting on the counter, one for the Chinese virus, one for the two flu types. They load some sort of cartridge in them, unreal the cartridge, and then rub the Q tips all over the inside of the cartridge. They close the lid, and the machines start counting down from (I think) 10 minutes. At the end of ten minutes a little printer prints the results out on a hummed label. Total time involved in testing ... 15 minutes.

                Those are for the antigen...IOW, to see if you are currently infected.

                The antibody test is a blood test. Hopefully, if one has antibodies, one has some immunity.

                  You were tested for the virus with a PCR test.

                  This is talking about an antibody test, which tells you if you had it at some point earlier, not if you have it now.

                  It only requires a bit of blood.

                  Only non-witches get due process.
