The PCR tests literally prove that someone has SARS-CoV-2 in their body,

the pcr test is not valid. You run it for as many repetitions (doublings) as you need to get a positive result. If you ran it with a sample of a banana, you'd still be able to get a positive result out of it due to exponentially compounding transcription errors

The test is also done on swabs, not on internal tissues. "in your body" is a wild statement.

If you don't wear a mask you are being selfish

you have a very small brain, and a distinct lack of critical analysis ability. I guess you are 90-115 in IQ. good luck with your little world, full of scary

You'll never cross the cycle threshold if the DNA you're looking for doesn't exist in the first place, so no. They also have a set cycle limit which is applied across all SARS-CoV-2 tests so that you're looking at actual signal and not noise.

If you ran it with a sample of a banana, you'd still be able to get a positive result out of it due to exponentially compounding transcription errors

That's like saying if you put a microphone in a room and turned the gain up to 10,000%, you'd be able to hear the voice of a ghost. You're looking at noise, and it's why PCR tests have a cycle threshold value.

So?

"in your body" is a wild statement.

I guess it is if you don't consider it important to detect SARS-CoV-2 where it infects you. You have to be pretty retarded to think that you shouldn't look for it where it is.

You seem to have a very emotional reaction to the concept of blocking the shit that comes out of our mouth.

incorrect. PCR is not a 100% accurate replication, and each repeat compounds errors.

No, it is like saying if i recorded a room, then played back that recording and recorded it, then after a certain number of repeats, the fourier transform of the resultant recording will contain a set of frequencies that triggers a positive.

You have to be pretty retarded

to think that a swab of the nasal cavity is able to differentiate between infectious agents that have been recently inhaled and infectious agents that have migrated there from the blood

Why is it always the hollow drums that make so much noise?

AKA you amplified the noise until you thought it was signal. Again why Ct is necessary and used, and has been for PCR tests forever.

If SARS-CoV-2 is in your nasal cavity above a certain prevalence to cross the threshold when you get a PCR test, then you have an active COVID-19 infection.

Why are you so triggered by the concept of stopping snot droplets from flying out of your mouth so as to protect others?

no. stop. you don't understand.

a mic turned right up is straight amplification.

PCR is iterative amplification.

The two are very different, and have very different results. AS THE GUY WHO INVENTED THE TEST SAID

If SARS-CoV-2 is in your nasal cavity above a certain prevalence to cross the threshold when you get a PCR test, then you have an active COVID-19 infection.

not true, either. Fuck, you are bad at this. How do you get to be s confident, and so utterly wrong? Do you even have any science qualifications? You have active EXPOSURE. you only get an infection once it crosses into your brain (the olfactory bulb or the eyes being the usual way in)

Why are you so triggered

Why do you talk utter shit?

I never said it wasn't. In fact, I said it is, and that's why there's a cycle threshold.

once it crosses into your brain (the olfactory bulb or the eyes being the usual way in)

You are a fucking retard. You think you don't have a COVID-19 infection unless it's in your brain? SARS-CoV-2 primarily binds to any cell with ACE2 receptors, which is why it's primarily a respiratory infection.

You didn't answer the question as to why you're so emotionally sensitive to the concept that you should put your diarrhea-spewing face-hole behind a mask. Preferably one you can't breathe through, for maximum safety.

you used a bunch of shit examples that demonstrated a lack of understanding.

As i guessed, you don't have any real knowledge in this subject and you are just parroting factoids from the 'net/

you win today's DK award
