As many Americans recover from their “virtual Thanksgiving,” sharing prayers and turkey across the internet, the media is pushing their November propaganda narrative, that Dementia Joe really won the presidential election and that COVID cases are once again surging across America.
The Washington Post claims that Wuhan coronavirus cases are “skyrocketing” while the New York Times wails that “It has hit us with a vengeance.” Yet the media is oblivious, either ignorantly or deliberately, to the reality that positive tests are not the same thing as cases.

Our Thanksgiving was not virtual. All 10 of us sat together in the same house, shoulder to shoulder at the same table, and wearing no masks. And guess what? We never discussed the covid con.

What #1 said, only there were just five of us. my teenage grandsons talked about job hunting and college as a yes/no thing. Our church had to do virtual meeting Sunday because the pastor tested positive; but he is asymtomatic, and he looked great as he did the sermon on-line yesterday.

Where I live I have to be delicate in my questions about Covid and media & gvt misrepresentation of the facts. From what I've been able to see, almost all people are full of fear and they believe every word the MSM says or prints. I ask if anyone has noticed that, while covid death rates are reported as UP, death rates from other means (cancer, heart attacks, etc.) are DOWN, almost in lockstep (!). It's as if Covid is curing cancer! But noe one I ask is aware of this stat.

I've been saying this same thing for months. I have managed projects which use PCR testing, and the scientists explained the process to this engineer years ago. Using 40 cycles of amplification means that you multiply the number of viruses or (this is important) virus fragments by more than a trillion times. That is 1,100,000,000,000 times what you started with.
If they used 35 cycles the amplification factor is 34,000,000,000 times (34 billion times).
If they used 30 cycles the amplification factor is 1,000,000,000 times (1 billion times).
It seems to me that if by amplifying the viruses in the sample by 1 billion times, they are still below the detection threshold, the person should not be considered to have the virus in their system at levels which are of any legitimate health concern.
The test is a mess the way they are using (abusing?) it.

Personal anecdote...
I quit believing the con about 7 months ago. I own a business for which I have traveled to 45 of the 50 states and 4 foreign countries. I know and am in contact with people in all of those places, not to mention my friends and family locally. After all this time, I still do not personally know a single person who has had the virus.
Of course, Covid ended my business travel on March first, but I was planning to retire this year anyway.

Good informative article. Thanks. Gads! we are so screwed when the government & the media can lie to the public so easily. A positive test is not a case. Instilling fear seems to be the mission of the MSM. The PCR test is overly sensitive when cycled over 30 replications & it was not even designed for screening for virus. Follow the links about Dr. Kary Mullis of blessed memory. God bless you & your family #1. We were shunned as we are high risk. The putative guests work in the wider community & one does have a dad who was sick with the covid - even tho' he had not seen his dad for 2 weeks. Our children did not want to be blamed for killing their parents. Grrr!

There's a reason the Bible describes human beings as sheep. Following orders is inbred. I hate seeing my fellow men/women masking themselves at the order of a corrupt government. Especially the kids--so sad for these young ones being brought up to trust fools.
Wish I could just wake up and it would have all been a nightmare that went away with time. :(

Since experts disagree, why do we (not me, but many people), get upset at every new prediction or projection. And countries, civilized or not, all disagree, why don’t we just call the whole thing off. The death rate apparently hasn’t changed, so forget abut it. Death and taxes will remain with us, particularly the taxes if the Biden scam prevails.

I know of one person and his wife who have 'tested positive'. He is not sick, she has been sick. One relative of my wife, in his late 80s is said to have died from it, and his caregiver, a grand daughter was sick for a few days, possibly with Wuhan flu.
That is the entire list of people that I know of with any sort of a personal connection that are said to have this "runaway disease". I spent four days in Virginia, staying at hotels and eating in restaurants, working with many people without masks, then visited a nephew in SC, spent the day at a tourist spot, then had a T'Day lunch at a restaurant (dozens of people) and now in Fla with another relative. We stop at restaurants when traveling will NOT do take out, eat in car. No problems, although we wind up calling ahead when driving to ensure that the restaurant has dine-in. We have stopped to do some shopping, many without any masks in smaller cities. We won't use them unless forced.
No disease that I see.

9,000 new cases in Minnesota yesterday? I don’t think so! We are being played as rubes to power hungry Commie pukes!

i claim no expertise in the area of test construction, but would note that the Kung Flu virus looks very much like the common cold virus, also a novel corona.
PCR amplification might confuse the two unique but closely related viruses, in many cases.
Finally, 1400 people die each day in the U.S., and 800 people a day in the U.S. are dying of the Kung Flu, we are told.
That means reported daily deaths should be a total of 2200, Yet they remain at 1400.
Who is doing the counting? There is something wrong here.

The government and their media lapdogs just can't function without lying. Everything is a crisis, the sky is falling, and only they can save us. Years ago, when they rolled out their propaganda jihad against smoking and second-hand smoke, everyone who died who had ever smoked, even if they stopped 40 years earlier, began to be listed as a "smoking-related death." Yes, it was "related," but it wasn't a smoking-caused death.
A postive test for a virus does not mean that the person is sick or contagious. We live in a world full of bacteria, mold, fungus, and virus. Being exposed to such helps us build immunity, and we cannot all live in a plastic protective bubble.
