Guy does the bare minimum, has an answer for everything, and has the easiest job in the world if he just did it. Prior to covid he had one medical "vacation" per year. 2019 was heart problems, 2020 was gastro problems (Just prior to covid lockdown), 2020 Covid 1 and 2, 2021 is Covid 3. He is a chain smoker and overweight. He was hospitalized in 2019 (heart) & 2020 (gastro and then covid 1) but covid 2 and 3 never in hospital. The kicker...anti-vaxxer.

I wish I was making this shit up but I'm not.

What say the poalers?

EDIT 1: grammar

EDIT 2: he's mid 40s

EDIT 3: Fixed the years the bastard had covid. He really pissed me off today with his laziness and lying in a meeting I called him out for. Why his boss won't fire his ass is beyond me.

What test are they using now? I thought the CDC said they were going to continue to use the PCR test until January so they had time to develop a new test

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

The DNA test is the only one that is definitive, but most clinics and hospitals are just using the quick test.

I've seen some stats that say different brands/types of the quick test range from 50% to about 90% accurate.

Is the quick test PCR based?

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

No. The PCR uses a method to make multiple copies of a segment of DNA /RNA by amplifying the test strands through numerous cycles of the test. The inventor of the specific test method indicated that 35 cycles was the maximum recommended, or there would be a higher risk of false positives. The CDC was recommending as high as 45 cycles, but then later decided it wasn't working at all for their specific use case.
