It&#x27;s not funny that even four tests can&#x27;t give you a conclusive result. He should&#x27;ve taken 5?<p>At this point the testing infrastructure around covid19 is just a money printing enterprise. Just like you can&#x27;t have a scientific discussion around covid19 anymore, you can&#x27;t have one around testing either. I&#x27;m expecting enormous amounts of fudging and 8-ball diagnostics.

A test with a 50% chance of being wrong isn&#x27;t a test

This just seems like a shitshow waiting to unravel. First he took a quick but unreliable test, and when it didn&#x27;t show what he wanted rather than take a more reliable test he just decided to take the less reliable test 3 more times and then spread bullshit on social media. He&#x27;s currently describing cold like symptoms, at best he doesn&#x27;t have covid which will probably result in more bullshit on social media about how covid is basically the common cold. At worst he tests positive, has a mild case, (which the vast majority of people get) and then decide that his N=1 experience is a peer reviewed study on coronavirus and spreads bullshit on social media about how it&#x27;s no big deal.
