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
