WHO warns that PCR COVID tests are more likely to give false positives
The World Health Organization issued a notice on Wednesday warning medical professionals to follow instructions of PCR tests for coronavirus to avoid getting false positive results. The new guidance states that the "WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2)." The notice reads: "This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity." https://thepostmillennial.com/who-wa...lse-positives/ The article gets a bit political so I left that part out. |

If it makes them feel better, some of that will help maybe I guess.
Just put all your effort into vaccines. Nothing else is gonna stop it. |

They are signing the DPA this morning and apparently there was little to no vaccine distribution plan. Going to take a little bit.

It would be nice to get the AstraZeneca vaccine approved and shipping. I read that we aren't going to have it shipping until at least February.

Did a spit test at school today. We can every 2 weeks.
Hopefully begin shots before Spring Break. |
