Because ambient air doesn't contain antibodies

which is what they are testing for

If they test for RNA fragments, using a PCR (rna/dna fragment mass copy duplicator), then the results are scientifically meaningless and the test is invalid

why? Because RNA fragments are NOT a virus, and rna fragments in the coronavirus are also in hiv, and many other retroviruses. You could have fragments floating around and have several different, related viruses (such as other human coronaviruses, even sars (SARS-1) for example, and not have SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19 / 'the corona' or 'rona')

And they can't test your genome (dna sequence) because though coronavirus is an RNA virus as is HIV, unlike HIV it's not a retrovirus and therefore doesn't write itself into your DNA.

My point is that it's harder to accurately test for COVID19 than HIV and others

Even if the test is what they say it is (it's not) it does not test for a virus. It tests for an RNA sequence you can get from any number of causes.

They have to shove that contaminated q-tip deep up your nose to make sure you get infected.

need a big sample for tests to detect it

Every cycle of a PCR test doubles the amount of RNA present. That's it's whole purpose -- it's for manufacturing, but has been hi-jacked for testing.

They are forcing my wife to be tested in order to give birth at the hospital. What should I do?

Say no and show up when she's in labor. They won't turn her away.

I know WTF - and WhoTF are these thousands of people getting into mile-long lines to get infected by the state. It's a sad sad indicator that too many people blindly and willingly tow the line for their government overlords. WWWWWWTTTTTFFFF!!!

Assuming a legit test, you want as concentrated a sample as you can get to ensure detection. You also want as limited outside contamination as possible as well, so simply blowing on it while outside the body would open you up to potential outside contamination and decrease confidence that a positive result came from the person you were testing.

This of course assumes a legit test for a legit virus.
