Question about Covid

Could he take an Antigen test? They are like your home pregnancy tests. Nothing to say they are perfect. Better than not testing at all. I have no idea how available they are were he lives. Lot more places are using them. To test people there and then.

The risk will always be out there. Various opinions will always be out there too. Your boyfriend might have his views. You might have your own views. That will always be a tricky one. When it comes to meeting up. As you will want to know what he was doing since you last saw each other. You will be looking for the danger in things he is doing. More to protect yourself. I agree it is better safe that sorry.

Have said before the virus will burn itself out in time. I do agree we all might catch a little something. Then it will have nowhere else to spread to.

Are you not answering your own question by what you are saying? Onviously you have some idea what you think you should do. With all that fear you seem to have. It doesn't see like that is ever going to go away, no matter what anybody says. So then you have a choice of ending the relationship based around your own fears, or accepting some form of testing for your boyfriend. There is no third option. Unless you both lock yourselves away in a room until this is all over with. Which we both know is not plausable.

According to the CDC, the PCR test used to diagnose Covid, is faulty. Too many false positives. Supposed to be a new test coming out in December that will separate Covid from flu.

To give you a generic answer you’re probably OK. There’s so many variables. There’s a lot of fear mongering I know for a fact that less people have had Covid than they say. You also have to know about what is called a viral load if you pass somebody that has Covid 99% you’re not gonna catch it if you’re in a car with them talking and laughing with the windows rolled up there’s a better chance but you’re still not guaranteed to get it. Since you are vaccinated most likely if you even do catch it you might not even know it or have mild cold like symptoms. The new variants are nothing new it’s the same thing you’re more protected than people that are not vaccinated and that’s a fact .

How do you know for a fact that fewer people have had Covid than they say?

Cuchculan · Dec 1, 2021

No dount he read it on some site.

Because you get false positives more then you get false negatives for one, for two hospitals get money the more cases there are, also when testing people think they got Covid again when it’s Just that they don’t understand they got tested for the antibodies. I mean I can go on and on but this is about anxiety not politics know what I mean .

It’s people like you that show your ignorance.

I’m assuming you are in the healthcare field and know these things to be true?

Mrcasual · Dec 1, 2021

Again this isn’t going to be a debate. You have your opinions and I have mine and I really don’t see the point in going back-and-forth over this.

You said it was “fact” that there were fewer people that had Covid than what they said. So now you are saying opinion so I’m just confused is all. Thx for your responses.

Mrcasual · Dec 1, 2021

I don’t understand what’s so confusing? You do know that opinions are based on facts right? I made my opinion based on the facts. I can lay all of them out for you but no matter you might not believe them. You can always find “facts” that fit peoples narrative. Hence no need for this conversation to keep going.

Opinion: An opinion is a judgement, viewpoint, or statement that is not conclusive, rather than facts, which are true statements.

One of your “facts” is incorrect. PCR and antigen tests almost never give false positives, but they can give false negatives. Rapid tests can often give false positives rather than false negatives. When people get tested and it is reported to the state health authorities, they are almost always getting a PCR test.

No one can prove anything he’s saying. The only evidence that even remotely supports it is the man who invented the pcr test insisting it cannot detect Covid

Iugrad91 · Dec 2, 2021

That man invented PCR testing in the 90’s and he died before Covid was identified as a virus.

FactCheck: Did the creator of PCR tests say they don't work for Covid-19?

Posts on social media have wrongly claimed that PCR testing is inaccurate and produces a high rate of false positive results.

You’re right I apologize, he stated it wasn’t beneficial for testing for viral infections

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting clinical laboratory staff and health care providers that false positive results can occur with antigen tests, including when users do not follow the instructions for use of antigen tests for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2.”
How am I wrong? This is literally from the FDA. This is only one example.
One more thing is I stated facts that support my opinion so hence why I have a opinion. It’s not that hard to understand but I guess some people need more I site.

How can no one prove it! It’s been proven time and time again. You just don’t want to believe the facts and I get it. You are who you are.

You should check out the fact that the CFC themselves admitted the PCR test was giving too many false positives. It was in the news and on their website.
