https://archive.ph/vDdNJ :
'The public-radio station WLRN, in Miami, first reported that the CDC was mixing viral and antibody test results. '
'A negative test result means something different for each test. '
'The agency hopes to separate the viral and antibody test results in the next few weeks, she said in an email. '
'Antibody tests, by contrast, use blood samples to look for biological signals that a person has been exposed to the virus in the past. '
'They are considered the gold standard for diagnosing someone with COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus: State governments consider a positive viral test to be the only way to confirm a case of COVID-19. '
This has been an automated message.

Fake news is continuing to report the number of "confirmed cases" as then umber of "total cases", and thereby inflating the implied "death rate" based on intentionally faked numbers. I wonder what is the IQ threshold required to discern "total confirmed cases" from "total cases"? What if there were 9 tests and 3 confirmed cases, does that mean there's only 3 total cases in the world? Retarded people aren't so tough to deal with as folks with the minimal intelligence required to assert their media-fueled ignorance as fact. The guy driving in his car with a mask on likely has the right to vote.
