So much for that vaunted national strategy to combat the virus. 

 

I'm going to assume they told him his national lockdown was also unconstitutional.  

 

I mean the D Governors will oblige.  And then blame the R states for not and they're the reason why people are dying and "cases!" are spiking.  Without a care in the world for the incalculable damage they are causing society.

So wait, a candidate admits he was wrong about some dumb “mandate,” and he’s not given credit for showing an ability to listen and change course? The horror of trying to set good examples.

During our Open Evidence Review of oral-fecal transmission of Covid-19, we noticed how few studies had attempted or reported culturing live SARS-CoV-2 virus from human samples.

This surprised us, as viral culture is regarded as a gold standard or reference test against which any diagnostic index test for viruses must be measured and calibrated, to understand the predictive properties of that test. In viral culture, viruses are injected in the laboratory cell lines to see if they cause cell damage and death, thus releasing a whole set of new viruses that can go on to infect other cells.

We, therefore, reviewed the evidence from studies reporting data on viral culture or isolation as well as reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), to understand more about how the PCR results reflect infectivity.

U.S. Coronavirus Cases Fall Below 25,000. 

 

“The U.S. reported fewer than 25,000 new coronavirus cases, the lowest daily total in nearly 12 weeks, while outbreaks on some college campuses have forced students to return to online learning.” Deaths are down, too, though that’s a lagging indicator.

The key take away is that the PCR test often does not detect  infectious virus.

This is especially true when having to multiply the genetic sample 45 times to create 35 TRILLION copies just to trigger a positive result

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally linked to 20% of US coronavirus cases in August: researchers

More than 460,000 people attended the 10-day rally

By Evie Fordham | Fox News

 

Nineteen percent of the 1.4 million new coronavirus cases in the U.S. between Aug. 2 and Sept. 2 can be traced back to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally held in South Dakota, according to researchers from San Diego State University's Center for Health Economics & Policy Studies.

 

That's more than 266,000 coronavirus cases attributed to the 10-day event, which more than 460,000 people attended despite fears it could become a so-called super-spreader event.

"We conclude that the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally generated public health costs of approximately $12.2 billion," the researchers wrote in a paper. "This is enough to have paid each of the estimated 462,182 rally attendees $26,553.64 not to attend."

 

The event took place from Aug. 7 to Aug. 16 in the town of Sturgis, which has a population of roughly 7,000 people.

 

The researchers said the rally increased coronavirus cases by approximately six to seven per 1,000 population in Meade County, home to Sturgis.

 

"These results suggest that in contrast to prior large gatherings that have been studied (i.e., Tulsa and BLM protests), in the case of Sturgis, the local resident population appeared to participate in the events," the researchers wrote. "This raises the possibility that the local population may be at risk for COVID-19 spread, especially if mitigating strategies (i.e., mask-wearing, interacting closely with only household members, avoiding crowds) were not undertaken."

More fun with testing

 

The Coronabros will swear up and down that the PCR test is highly sensitive and accurate.

The process may be foolproof- but GIGO still applies "garbage in garbage out"

 

https://vaccineimpact.com/2020/censored-covid19-pcr-tests-are-scientifically-meaningless-everything-weve-been-told-about-covid-is-a-hoax/

summary from the article

 

We need to know where the RNA for which the PCR tests are calibrated comes from.

Particle purification — i.e. the separation of an object from everything else that is not that object,  is an essential pre-requisite for proving the existence of a virus, and thus to prove that the RNA from the particle in question comes from a new virus. (and not from existing common cold coronavirus already in the body)

 

The reason for this is that PCR is extremely sensitive, which means it can detect even the smallest pieces of DNA or RNA — but it cannot determine where these particles came from. (like from common cold generic material) That has to be determined beforehand.

 

Because the PCR tests are calibrated for gene sequences (in this case RNA sequences because SARS-CoV-2 is believed to be a RNA virus), we have to know that these gene snippets are part of the looked-for virus. And to know that, correct isolation and purification of the presumed virus has to be executed.

 

The article interviewed several science teams that conducted studies supporting the PCR tests for Covid. The science teams admitted that the electron-microscopic shots depicted in their in vitro experiments did NOT show purified viruses. In addition, nobody said purification was not a necessary step.

 

Thus, the genetic material being searched for in the ultra-sensitive, super- accurate PCR test has NEVER BEEN ISOLATED TO BE FROM THE COVID VIRUS. Garbage in, garbage out.

 

More likely, after multiplying the sample 35 TRILLION times,  the test is picking up genetic material of the common cold in everyone’s body- which is why most testing positive are not sick.

Calling BS on this one.  3 months of protests cause ZERO spread of the virus per our political class and these researchers (per the article) but the Sturgis Rally infected ~1/4 of a million people?

 

All because ~150 people from near Sturgis tested positive for it?  

 

Something doesn't add up.

Would fully expect them to come to that same conclusion.  The protests were "mostly peaceful" after all AND the protesters had very 'little interactions with the locals.'  The locals' property on the other hand ...
