Test Story

 N-TV had a short update today over the Covid-19 'quickie' tests.  You can generally buy these at grocery stores and pharmacy shops here in Germany....ranging from 5.99 to 10.99 Euro each. 

Schools use them, and in the past couple of months....companies have handed out at least two per week per employee.  

So here's the thing....various tests have been done and each time the 'quickie' test is done and says 'positive'...it's a 50-percent chance that it's wrong.  

After you get the 'positive' result....you then need to take the PCR test (typically done at some clinic or your doctor's office).  This is around a 99-percent accurate test, and as the news people put it.....a lot of these 'quickie' tests positive results were wrong.

Trust?  Well....I would suggest that the tremendous amount of money flowing into this 'bucket' is just money wasted.
