Worth watching

(I like the fact that it's Q minutes long.)

Playing devils advocate, the higher concentration of the virus that they can test, the more likely the test will give an accurate result. Accurately testing for the virus in a water solution 100% saturated with viral particles is easier than accurately testing for the virus on one of these bore cleaner q tips. If you were to bkow on the thing, you would likely only deposit a few tens of thousands of viral particals - enough to make someine sick, but that's an astronomically small amount of mass to test for. Roughly speaking, these viruses are 10-100 nano meters in size IIRC which is much closer to being the size of a single atom than to the size of a human cell. I know a lot of these tests rely on decomposing the viruses DNA, RNA, or proteins and watching for them to bind to chemicals, and a very real problem with this kind of testing is not having enough viral material to get over the activation threshold of the testing chemicals, therefore you need to get a dense sample to guarantee accurate results. Now, whether or not these tests are accurate is another question...

Because bacteria is resident in virtually every healthy person's sinus cavity.

Bacteria (pathogenic and non-pathogenic) and viruses are 'resident'/present in the nasal cavity (i.e. vestibule) and nasopharynx of every person ... healthy or not. The mucosa of the nose and mouth provide defense against pathogens.

IOW, the mere presence of potentially harmful bacterium or virus in that mucosa DOES NOT indicate 'infection'.

Bingo. That’s why PCR tests are vague at best. It may indicate the presence of a pathogen but it can’t tell how much there is in the body or if the person is even affected by it. It’s unwashed data that can be used to manipulate and skew anything you want.

President Trump explained how his last maybe latest Q-tip tests are simple, painless, quicker!

He offered that test to all Governors of every state and seems All State Governors choose not to use them!!

WHY???

We the People should be raising cain for them!!!
