Coronavirus - Take two - Action!

[Ninurta]

Another thing - concerning Grace's positive covid test. She has another procedure scheduled (really, the same one for the third time of re-scheduling), but had not been notified that she needed another covid test. So, she called them to schedule one, and was informed that they have changed their policies - the nurse said that since she had already tested positive, the antibodies now in her body would cause a "false positive", so they are no longer requiring covid tests pre-procedure at that facility for people who have already tested positive once.

That's good news.

Thinking further, since she is a thinker, Grace believes that we both actually had covid in late October or early November, and that the "positive" test was actually a false positive from the antibodies generated by that event. At that time, we both had sniffles, and that was all. Just stuffy noses, nothing more. But, due to that, she cancelled the procedure the first time, to avoid going into the office while we were "sick", reasoning that might create bad blood between her and the doctor's office.

So, if she is correct, our "quarantine" period was long past it's due date, when we had already recovered from the actual non-event, and that may be the real reason we were listed as "asymptomatic".

I presume that policy change is just facility specific, but it does point out something that the internet is unaware of, but that medical facilities are acutley aware of - having the antibodies present will generate a false positive. It must be pretty standard - medical facilities are not going to change an entire policy over one or two flukes. It would have to be consistently occurring to prompt a policy change. Why is the internet not buzzing about that?

Just the false positives from that sort of thing would serve to grossly overinflate the numbers of "new infections" that they are carrying on so about currently.
