pH levels cause this to break the test. There are inherent flaws in pcr PROCESS (not a test) and these rapid testing kits, but cola giving a positive is not really all that damning. You can ruin most actual tests by adding cola to them and get positives for random stuff.
Yes, that is why I said rapid testing kit, too. The point is that the cola testing positive is not a good way of showing the test is flawed at detecting covid.
For the sake of discussion: the speaker also did not present a sealed can of Coke that had not been tampered with. He merely claimed that the glass contained Coke, but someone with Covid-19 could have spat into it :)
It’s the over cycling of tests that is the most damning. Allows organization to make a wave of positive tests appear and disappear at Will.
Yo, dude, this is an antigen rapid test. PCR tests are reported with CTs (cycle thresholds). Doctors diagnose and treat patients, not lab results.
I understand that nobody is being put on oxygen if they’re asymptomatic, but the number of asymptomatic cases is not what’s being reported everywhere. My understanding is that PCR amplifies viral RNA with a lower cycle count indicating a higher concentration. My understanding is also that there is a point at which PCR test results with binary values (true|false) can cause a hyperbolic response in individuals and organizations. My family members who have been tested have not been told how many cycles their sample went through but my understanding is that 30 - 40 is the standard for these tests. Hence, over-cycling is a concern for me.
Voice of reason. Ty.
