You should put down the crackpot web sites, put down the crack pipe, and learn some basic science. After that maybe you'll understand why people are concerned.

If some of the testing kits we have are flawed, which may be an issue I’ve read, I would be leery of some of the numbers right now.
The “testing kits” is a PCR test that detects Coronavirus RNA in patient samples. The kit contains certain elements that are controls to see if each run performs correctly. If those controls do not run correctly, then the test run is considered “not valid” and the patient result cannot be used or “reported out”.
In the original send out from CDC most states, when performing their initial checks of the test (not yet running patient samples but putting the test through the motions before they instituted it) got “invalid” results because of those QC controls. Dummy specimens that were used in these checks did not have false positive or false negative results, but the result would not have been reportable because of the QC check failure.
So, no results were reported out by the states. That’s where the bad test kit comes from. CDC was unable to get the states to do their own testing (they may have corrected this by now). And was doing all of the testing itself. I think that their own tests did not have the same QC flaws that were in the ones shipped to the state.
Bottom line is there aren’t any wrong result patients out there, other than one reported early on (who ended up being re-quarantined) where the issue was a mixup and not a bad test.

Nobody's jealous of you, you twat. Just pointing out how nonsensical your conspiracy theory websites are. Posting phony credentials isn't going to help them gain any legitimacy.
There are actual experts all over the world trying to resolve this issue, through quarantines, research on vaccinations, treatments. Every time a dipshit like you bubbles up some mindless conspiracy nonsense they set that effort back.
You want to know why stock markets dropped? Because companies are already warning that earnings are going to be off, that inventories are going to be depleted, that commodities are going to sit - and this crisis has barely started. Anyone with a 3rd grade education should understand as much.
Well, with a quality 3rd grade education at least.

Agreed. The hype machine is always dying for a Black Swan. Get ready for blast-off once news of a vaccine hits.

You realize that China shut down factories for over a month (and is still nowhere near being fully operational) and that Japan just asked for schools to remain closed through April?
Do you really feel like anything has been hyped to this point? If so - why did it take the markets until now to actually act on it? The initial public interest in the virus was greater and had been waning.
This is one case where I think the media was actually pretty restrained. Unusually so, all things considered.

Yeah, the factories are all closed, but worse, only 85% of the Starbucks in the PRC are now open. Sounds dire. Hopefully they let the folks welded into their apartments out for a latte.
Pretty sure the baristas in Hubei aren't whipping up many frappuccinos.
Pretty sure all the factories and commerce in all the highlighted areas aren’t under martial law lockdown when all the Starbs and Walmarts and Mickey D’s have re-opened. They hype machine is in full force.
Not sure what tracking software you use but I've been posting on many BBI threads since 2013 - Giants threads, Yankees threads, NFT threads.
I hope we're better at tracking coronavirus cases than we are at tracking BBI users. ;-)
