The Florida Gov. DeSantis needs to do like that Tanzania president did, and have his Florida Bureau of Investigation send in fake samples.

Get to the bottom of this nonsense.

The Texas and other Southern Governors should do it, too.

40% inaccuracy essentially means not really accurate at all when it comes to public policy


I agree and the EMA Director that I mentioned agrees... He does not count any rapid test positive cases until they are confirmed by a follow up "long" test...

He has some common sense... He also said that the guidance for counting was all over the place and changed multiple times daily... Said he figures you cannot be "wrong" with all that great "guidance"...

However, he is honestly trying to accurately track the data for that area he is responsible for...

Could someone somewhere post an actual news story about this. I believe him, but some people need sources.

That's part of the plot too I guess.

What range of pages per day did they have pre-COVID?

The interesting thing is he says he knows 6 people, not he has heard 6 people, so it seems like he possibly got the info directly from the source

If I hear first hand of it happening I will attempt to make an issue out of it.

I might run this experiment today. I'm tired of this shite.

Yep, I know two people that the same thing happened. Neither of them waited around to be tested and came back positive.

The fix is in and Comrade Edwards is destroying businesses and lives.

A city with a metro area of 6 million probably has quite a few deaths every day.

What was the time frame?

What was the amount last year at this time?

Was the amount from last year over the same time period.

Was the paper using the exact same font and column width etc.

No offense, but your post, without additional information, is just fear porn at this point.

This was from May. 33000 potentially incorrect tests in Florida.

Now we have labs ONLY reporting positives to the tune of thousands of stat-skewing cases.


NO ONE in the media will talk about test accuracy, even though this was a MASSIVE problem in Europe, and the stories here in the US keep piling up.

I’ve posted on this board a few times the last couple of days that here in Phoenix, in my circle of friends/family, this has happened 4 times. Two of them never even registered to get tested - the emails came out of the blue.

Using the average American daily death rate, you should expect nearly 170 people in the greater Houston area to die every day.

We are all being lied to. Why are you ok with being lied to just because the lies are ones you want to believe?

Eta: it's fake news. The chronicle did a special edition with a 43 page obit honoring EVERYONE WHO DIED THIS YEAR. They got the headline they needed to trick morons like you.

NASCAR driver Jimmy Johnson, a high profile figure, is proof positive for the doubters on here that this is happening. Makes total sense to me that there are significant cases of erroneous test results amongst us nobodies.

Happened to me in Opelousas about 6 weeks ago. About 9 of us did a pin prick blood test. ALL POSITIVE. none of us were symptomatic( there was one from a crawfish boil we all attended). The PA told us we needed to quarantine for 14 days. Being suspicious that none of us were having symptoms, we all did a nasal swab at a different facility and all were negative. To date, none of us are having problems nor is anyone that had contact with us. Go figure

I keep hearing this, but people really need to step up with proof, And then someone needs to be prosecuted for fraud.




You'd have to prove you didn't take the test when their is testing documentation saying that you did. Not an easy task. Would require coordination beforehand and then still you're required to believe the person making the claim didn't pull a fast one.
