For a second there, I thought I was going to have to see if we had a hard science major on this board explain that article, but I think I understand now. They are able to determine where the person was infected.bearister said:

The part about no Democratic leader is bullcrap. Tim Kane, Bob Casey, several senior Democratic House members, some Democratic Governors, etc. all have had COVID.bearister said:
"Have you noticed that no Democratic leader has suffered Covid-19 but Republicans leaders have had more than their fair share?"
This may be the strongest circumstantial evidence yet that there is a God. If their death rate is higher, that seals it.
Not to mention the "caravans" that were gripping the nation in October 2018, which suddenly disappeared. I notice a trend.blungld said:
You know what has disappeared after November 4th? Not COVID, but the obsession with Hunter Biden, the promise that a great new health plan was coming out days after the election, as was an infrastructure plan, and tax returns. Do any of these lies ever register with the trumpers?
The list of false claims made by Trump and his supporters over the past 4 years, made with absolute certainty, that then just go poof without any mea culpa or hesitance about the next totally certain claim is a study in gaslighting and cognitive dissonance. Meanwhile the sane just watch it happen over and over again, point it out, and have to live through the disastrous effects of this national cult.

Best article I have read on why testing shouldn't give you any comfort level:

"The Trojans conduct eight tests per week (six antigen, two PCR) and are as transparent as any program in the conference with regard to sharing relevant results...
...Think that through for a moment:
Three negative tests over 36 hours prior to travel, a negative test on game day, and then positive and symptomatic by Monday which likely means the player was symptomatic by Sunday afternoon or evening.
Typically, the amount of virus that's detectable by testing precedes by 24-to-48 hours the amount of virus that's required for symptoms....
...Yet the USC player tested negative repeatedly through Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning and then was symptomatic by Sunday evening.
Had he been tested a few hours later, it might have shown up....
... Here's the testing cadence for the USC player:
Thursday morning: antigen test/negative
Thursday morning: PCR test/ negative (result available Friday)
Friday morning: antigen test/negative
Saturday morning: antigen test/negative
Sunday: no test
Monday morning: symptomatic and positive...
... If a player becomes infected on Wednesday, then he's likely to remain negative through the late-week and pre-game testing, but possibly turn positive and contagious on Saturday afternoon, evening or night...
