Chris Martensen discussing PCR testing

Another good discussion by Chris Martensen. Personally I find his analysis to be among the best out there at the moment.

Plus those posters in possession of testes have another little something to think on.

The main conclusion I draw from this is that the tests are highly iffy, and the numbers of ‘infected’ people are strictly not credible.

Indeed - that is hard to argue with! If PCR is heavily overestimating the actual number of cases, however, it increases the estimated fatality rate of Covid.

Ideally, we want the tests to be iffy in the opposite direction, i.e. they consistently produce loads of false negatives, when they should read positive. In that circumstance many more people have contracted the virus, and the estimated fatality rate is a lot lower than currently thought.
