My daughter sent me a message about her friend who went to get tested with 2 buddies. The line was so long they didn’t wait after they got tired of being there. They got reports saying they tested positive, which was impossible to know. Since I remembered other online reports of this, I decided to post it on FB this morning in an effort to say that it seems this is really happening. With seconds I got a nasty reply saying in a round about way I was lying. I had a glut of emotions. How would you respond or not, to this?

It's been reported on fox news for days that this is happening. The CDC says it very "RARE" I believe your daughter, more than the CDC. I think some of the LABS should be vetted better. Len

Testing for COVID-19 | CDC

I would not respond.

I personally know 3 people that went to get tested, checked in, and waited for their turn. The testing centers seemed very disorganized, and they were told it would be a 1.5 to 2 hour wait. All three left without being tested. 3 days later they received their positive test results in the mail. The numbers are completely unreliable. Oh, and the CDC has REDUCED their number of COVID deaths. They removed the people that died of other causes, such as car crash, but tested positive post mortem and they are now separating "regular" flu deaths from the COVID numbers. Appears until now, just about any death has been coded as COVID. With the changes, it proves the death rate is now almost exactly the same as the normal flu, but you won't hear that in most media.
The death rate in the US has been steadily declining, we are almost to a rate that no longer qualifies as a "pandemic". They say "follow the science", but it seems some science is more equal than others.

The Lab got paid for the 3 phony test TOO. Makes you wonder

I'd just let it go. You're reporting a second-hand story and some people are simply not going to believe you, nor will your protestations to the contrary convince them otherwise.

Online debates, especially with anonymous strangers, rarely end with raised awareness and pleasant feelings.

Yea, I understand. All those people suddenly filling up the morgues and the hospital beds in Texas and Arizona and Florida and California really are suffering from the "New Summer Covid+Flu" disease. Down in Brazil they are filling up all those mass graves with flu suffers and people killed in car accidents who just also happened to have Covid-19. I also don't believe your "I personally know 3 people" story for one second. Someone else quoted the identical story about "3 people they knew" also in another thread here. I guess it always comes in 3's. Sounds like "fake news" or 3 party hand me down stories.

Perhaps need to be careful reading the report. No show's are assumed to think they have or may have been exposed to COVID so are cautioned to act accordingly unless the receive a negative result,

[Klearhead]

Dr. Oz & Siegel (NYU Med. Sch,)have both stated the numbers being released are incorrect. Both had verified their claims receiving confrontation that the mistakes appear to be wide spread in the reported during this “Spike” of reported cases.

I know of one person who had the same story, line too long, left and got notified positive test.

[Dana1963]

I have heard the same story from my daughter in New England and a friend in Michigan neither of them talk this is all I can find on internet. Anything is possible with text message notification. Questions should always be followed with who what when and wear. Hearing from a friend of a friend is always questionable.

Donate blood. They test for antibodies and let you know the results.
