N-TV brought up this topic in the afternoon, and it basically revolves around this cheapo 2.99 Euro Covid test kit, with a method to get a false-positive.
Somewhere down the line (probably even in 2020 as the kits were out there)....someone figured out a way to sprinkle some drops of softdrink (Coke is mentioned, as is Fanta) onto the Covid test (as mandated at schools).
There is a chemical reaction to the cheapo test kit, and in most kits....there's the positive 'bar' that shows up.
Naturally, that would freak out the teacher supervising kids through the test and mandate that the kid remove himself/herself from the class. The kid goes to a doctor, then gets a PCR test, which says NO Covid. But the kid misses the whole bit of school for the day.
Here's the thing though....RTL News (commercial folks) did the same type of test (three separate drinks), and it failed.
Truth to this whole story? You really can't say.
Maybe it's a particular type of kit that fails (over twenty-odd versions of test kits out there). Maybe it has to be Diet-Coke, or a no-caffeine Coke.
Or maybe the whole story is just a hoax?
