The statement of "cases", "infected" or "positive" without simultaneous information about the examined population and the total number of tests carried out would have to be punished with a large fine for misleading public opinion.
—Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg
In other words, the number of new "cases," which continue to scare and deceive everyone, has no clinical significance whatsoever. Thus the pandemic can go on indefinitely, as long as widespread testing is in place. Stop the testing, and the pandemic will vanish. The Crowned Flu is over.
Note the following limitations (with my emphasis) specified in the CDC's official instructions for use on the real-time PCR test:
- Positive and negative predictive values are highly dependent on prevalence. False negative test results are more likely when prevalence of disease is high. False positive test results are more likely when prevalence is moderate to low.
- Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms.
- This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens [e.g., coinfection with influenza, rhinovirus, etc.].
Alex Berenson gets it:
1/ This panic is likely to prove even more embarrassing than previous panics. Here's why: the media is both confused and conflating several different data points in an effort to stir hysteria. (Stop me if you've heard this before.)— Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) June 11, 2020
