  1. Covid: hits Africa
    Ebola: go away
    Covid: hippity hoppity this is now my property
    Ebola: wait……. that’s not supposed to happen

  2. Oh wow did they ISOLATED and QUANTIFY the virus. Otherwise the %90 false positive given by the RT PCR hasn’t changed….HOW IS THIS TEST ANY DIFFERENT?

    1. CDC report from July or something .. page 35 or so stated no isolation and quantification. They are using some simulated variant or something like that…

  3. About time a rapid test has been approved. Minister Hajdu said in the HoC several weeks ago that these tests were approved.

  4. Still a PCR test? The one that should not be used for diagnosis, as per the creator of the PCR test? Get a false positive even faster…..

  5. Too bad Precision Biomonitoring did not Develop tech to recognize symptoms.

    They will be using Ct values of greater than 30 which puts the company at risk of being included in the class action suits coming.
