The Communist Origin of the Modern Conservative Movement VI

Did you know they are now doing antibody testing?

There has been concern that some of the tests might confuse the coronavirus causing the current pandemic with one of several coronaviruses that cause the common cold.
"Lots of tests confuse the two," Relman said.
The tests would then end up telling people they had antibodies to the pandemic coronavirus when they didn't, and people might think they're immune when they're not.
A few days after the phone call, the NAS scientists wrote a letter to the White House frankly apprising them about the quality of antibody tests.
Results from antibody tests "should be viewed as suspect until rigorous controls are performed and performance characteristics described, as antibody detection methods can vary considerably, and most so far have not described well-standardized controls," according to the letter.

Far far less than what you and the media have been reporting for weeks now, while the virus is deadly, it is only deadly to a certain portion of the population, those who have already weak systems and chronic health problems.

You like the MSM are only spreading fear and no hope...

...you want this to be worse so you can use it against Trump in the fall.

Did you know antibody tests aren't that accurate at this time?

So it's not a problem?

Hahahaaa — they are indeed spreading hope. Hope that Trump will lose the election!

It doesn't matter if the virus isn't as bad or whether it's actually worse — it's not the virus which is being judged, it's Trump's response to it.

You never supplied proof that the OP "wants more death" and now you're repeating this charge against him and the MSM, again not supplying any evidence to back up your obvious lie.

Don't you have a lockdown protest to go to?

I love the way you are continuing to protect Zardoz from his own comments.

Trumps response to the pandemic has actually been very good, compared to what the media is trying to portray.

. . . you quarantine the sick and vulnerable, not the healthy.

. . . you quarantine the sick and vulnerable, not the healthy.

Ha-ha, someone thinks Baldimo needs to be protected!

Absolutely! But quarantine and social distancing aren't the same.

South Korean scientists conclude people cannot be infected with coronavirus more than once

Multiple tests that ostensibly showed 260 patients becoming reinfected were the result of false-positive testing, according to the Korea Herald.

“The process in which COVID-19 produces a new virus takes place only in host cells and does not infiltrate the nucleus. This means it does not cause chronic infection or recurrence,” said Dr. Oh Myoung-don, a Seoul National University hospital doctor, during a Thursday press conference.

Last week, the World Health Organization warned against attempting to develop "herd immunity" to the virus, saying there is no evidence catching the virus could protect people from future infections.

“There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from Covid-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection,” the WHO said in an April 24 statement.

Since the Republicans open up coronavirus cases have already increasing by 86% in some states in a day. 

The virus has a incubation of about 2 weeks, you don't open up the country and the next day see massive case increases, you really are a fool.

Just look at the anti body testing that has taken place in New York and California.

Protected? You need to reread what I wrote. Telling Baldimo about others' lack of critical thinking skills when it comes to who should be quarantined does not equal defending him. And just for the record, I've never seen a case in which Baldimo needed protecting, and least of all from you.

I'm not "protecting" anybody — as if people on an online forum need to be protected. What do you need protection from — words on a computer screen?

I believe them over the WHO any day.

Sure he does, because it's a right-wing site and prints stories which reflect its bias,

There's no implied cause and effect in the timeline.

As I informed you yesterday the antibody tests are not accurate. False positives and false negatives. The administration doesn't want accurate widespread testing because, as Trump stated at the CDC, he wants the numbers kept low. The "covid-19 is not serious" narrative has been developed as a gamble, Trump's reelection being the prize. Of course they would popularize the inaccurate results from the antibody tests which make the disease seem less serious.

You would be 100% wrong, he wants as much testing as we can pump out. The more tests that are done the more we can show this virus wasn't as deadly as the left was claiming it was. The mortality rate for this sickness is going to be less than 1% the more testing that is done the more the truth comes out. It's the left who doesn't want the full blown testing, and why they spend so much time trying to discredit the antibody testing, it will prove they blew this up past what it really had to be. The only people I see fighting the testing are those from the left.

Did you bother to read the article or did you just post it because the title fit your narrative? The article is more hopeful than the title leads you to believe, it didn't counter the claim I made, it just tried to state that there "might" be some inaccuracy in the testing, doesn't mean the testing is worthless or doesn't work. If there were a 2% difference as they claim, it still points to more people having been sick then we really knew about and still drops the mortality rate to less than 1%.

Are you ever going to be done defending Zardoz?

Infectious disease specialists warn that reopening the country is a “big mistake” that will “cost lives.” Juliette Kayyem, CNN’s national security analyst, said today: “There will be more dead people. Just say it. It’s an experiment we’re living in real time.” Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the administration’s leading infectious disease specialists, warned that reopening was “a really significant risk.” Trump today revised estimates of dead upward, saying “hopefully” we will lose fewer than 100,000 people.

Indeed, infections are increasing in the reopening states. Today, Iowa reopened 77 counties on the same day the governor reported 740 new infections, a one-day high, and warned that a backlog on test data would likely mean higher numbers over the weekend. She then began to talk of reopening of churches. In Georgia, where Governor Brian Kemp was among the first to reopen his state, there were 618 new cases Thursday, and 1,228 new cases Friday.
