re: #34 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

As the preprint linked upstream notes, viral fragments will mean a positive test, but does not indicate a complete virus. But unless one does full genome sequencing, currently there is not a way to distinguish a viral fragment from a complete virus using the fast and inexpensive tests.

Okay, if I’m understanding you, the fast tests *may* indicate you have the virus but are completely opaque if you *do* have the virus. Yes?

So the fast and inexpensive tests are maybes and not all definitive. If nothing is there you’re OK, (for now) but if anything is there, it’s a Meh?
