We happily subject ourselves to the "test", but what are the perimeters and settings for these tests. I have read somewhere that some tests have the baseline set too low and reads "positive" when the virus antibodies have ceased to be contagious. Seemingly something along the lines of radiation tests after a problem like Genoble, there is an acceptable level, does this not apply causing people to be asymptomatic? I am not a medical techo, but surely there are standards, and are all the testing kits to the same standard. Just a question someone here maybe able to answer, which might bring a little more clarity to the situation.
