Dr. Weeks’ Comment: You’ve been told to be scared. Now you are being told to think. What does real scientific methodology tell us about the source of world disruption: the COVID-19 outbreak. Let’s think together: How accurate are the tests to distinguish COVID-19 from other viral infections? Why are people dying? The explanation is not simple but it is past time to cut through the nonsense. Get the facts: Below you can click on the URL to a powerful scientific analysis posted just now by the brilliant scientific mind of David Crowe which the leaders at the CDC and NIH and all international health authorities should read and respond to scientifically. This is REQUIRED reading for anyone considering voluntarily giving up your civil liberties.

Note that David Crowe will be adding to this link as the situation continues to devolve. Stay informed! He just sent me this:
Brad – I’ll be rewriting the section on treatments, which are a big worry. There’s a lot of new information about the antivirals they are in a rush to test out.
And also diagnostic delusions (i.e. if you test travellers you will come to believe it’s infectious, if you test sick people you will come to believe it’s pathogenic, if you test asymptomatic people you’ll believe it has magic powers).
And of course the shocking new Chinese scientific paper that calculated the false positive rate for asymptomatic patients as: …….. (wait for it) …… 80% https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32133832-potential-false-positive-rate-among-the-asymptomatic-infected-individuals-in-close-contacts-of-covid-19-patients/
And here is more proof of CDC incompetence… https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/06/coronavirus-testing-failure-123166?fbclid=IwAR2mRkRpZzSgs1O_rHQVithw3EC3lrknbeHZPix9r_DIMA_vnDuo2U8sQHQ
And MORE science showing the inaccuracies

Abstract
- Objective: As the prevention and control of COVID-19continues to advance, the active nucleic acid test screening in the close contacts of the patients has been carrying out in many parts of China. However, the false-positive rate of positive results in the screening has not been reported up to now. But to clearify the false-positive rate during screening is important in COVID-19 control and prevention.
- Methods: Point values and reasonable ranges of the indicators which impact the false-positive rate of positive results were estimated based on the information available to us at present. The false-positive rate of positive results in the active screening was deduced, and univariate and multivariate-probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to understand the robustness of the findings.
- Results: When the infection rate of the close contacts and the sensitivity and specificity of reported results were taken as the point estimates, the positive predictive value of the active screening was only 19.67%, in contrast, the false-positive rate of positive results was 80.33%. The multivariate-probabilistic sensitivity analysis results supported the base-case findings, with a 75% probability for the false-positive rate of positive results over 47%.
- Conclusions: In the close contacts of COVID-19 patients, nearly half or even more of the ‘asymptomatic infected individuals’ reported in the active nucleic acid test screening might be false positives.
