Some of the nation’s leading public health experts are raising a new concern in the endless debate over coronavirus testing in the United States: The standard tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus.
In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus at all and may not even need to be isolated and quarantined.
Alex Jones had a guest on in May, that said this same exact thing.
Among other things, is the false positives and the non-specific test, then came the "probable cases"
All to set a narrative to mislead the people into a very bad decision.
It is backfiring on them.
I see no reason for nursing homes to not be able to provide a safe way for family to visit dying residents. Perhaps there should be some financial assistance from the government to help them with the logistics.
Most of the residents who are isolated in nursing homes are not going to die. It is a nursing home, not hospice.
Really?, why do you think they are there? Obviously you are not familiar with the numbers. Along with nursing homes, hospitals have also forbidden families to be with dying spouses, parents, children, siblings. I see no reason for either.
I hate to nitpick, but it's a pet peeve of mine. It's like when people call a stomach virus the "stomach flu". There's no such thing, it's either Norovirus or Rotavirus.
Yeah, and I'd rather get the 'rona again than get Norovirus again.

Not everyone in a nursing home is dying. Some are there because they need help with activities of daily living that families are unable to provide.
That is why I said there should be some way to make accommodations.
The reason is to reduce exposure of staff, nursing home residents, and hospital patients to the coronavirus.
The conversation is not about nursing homes or hospitals, it is about those who are dying having to do so with no family present, whatever institution is housing them.
