President Biden has called for millions of test kits. Fox had Robert Redfield of CDC on this morning. Redfield thinks we need more tests.
I have a few
questions about all this test talk. Do
we need a lab test to tell if someone is sick?
And, what do we do about cases where the test comes back positive yet
the patient is perfectly well? Is this a
real case of Corona virus or is it
a false positive from the test? How was
the test verified? How many subjects
were tested by the test? And how did we
verify the test results. Do we have
other tests or procedures? What might
they be? And how accurate are they. In short, what makes us think this un-named
test really works? Some numbers would be
convincing. So far the TV news has offered NO numbers.
And, even if the test works, how is it going to help in the Corona virus pandemic? We can tell patients who are sick without using lab tests.
