We had a 'rant' thread that started civilly enough, then deteriorated into gutter accusations, wilful mistruths and other garbage. It polarised the readership of this forum and finally both assuaged the egos of the ****-stirrers and offended those of us who try to maintain fact in the face of...

I thoroughly agree John. Sam

Artie, if you are referring to my PCR-based intervention, please recheck my posts. That 'negative' was, and remains, a hodge-podge of pseudoscience. Sam

Please don't repeat Murray's selective use of a much longer quotation. Out of contex, as you have 'quoted' it, this statement is fallacious, and like Murray, selectively chosen to give some tatters of credence to your viewpoint. Sam

I was once told, in all seriousness, by a well-read academic, that: Cannon balls on a Tudor warship, were stored (prevented from rolling about with ships heaving and pitching) on a brass tray, called 'a monkey'. In frosty weather, the coefficient of contraction was such that... He was SO...

Oh..I dont know...there have been a few posting on here today in another thread :cool: ..reminded me of Jacob!!😁 Sam

If Marineboy were to do that, he would effectively 'wall up' increasing damp. Wouldn't like to think what a good, hard, frost would do to the wall then! Also, it's losing space inside - what I suspect - is an already tight enclosure. Secondly, see Bob's(?) post re brickies not being too tidy and...

Selly: 1. "It's a seasonal coronavirus" No. Absolutely not. Equating C-19 with 'colds' is not valid. And, a great deal about it is as yet 'unquantifiable', as opposed to "unknown", so in some respects, it IS a mystery, hence my "ethnicity" and "blood" references above. 2. "Does that you mean you...

I beg to disagree Selly. There certainly is a paucity of long term data, no doubt. But, 8 -10 months in, we DO have "trends" and they are indicative enough for precautions to be taken. Indicators like the 60+ age group vulnerability vs 18-30 (!) less susceptibility. Indicators like men more...

May I please thank Jake, Robin and Terry for presenting, very patiently and thoroughly, the calm voice of reason in the face of nigh-rabid denial and polarised, delusional opinion. Sam

Artie, it was invented to increase the amount of DNA in any given sample. Once a sufficient amount of DNA was accumulated, THEN a conventional test for HIV could be carried out. Up to then, the amount of DNA available was too little to reliably test. PCR is a technique, not a test. HTH. Sam

Totally incorrect.

" A PCR test can only identify the presence of material namely HIV " Words fail me....

"I have and we are making an excessive reaction to the asymptomatics. " OK, all you Long-Covid sufferers, step right up and tell Selwyn et al how you would rather have had YOUR asymptomatic 'spreader' detected by testing, rather than given YOU the disease...Of course, he/she/it would have had...

Oh dear...ever heard of "asymptomatic,"???

FatmanG? Ignorance is "not knowing"? Really? I am a Biologist, have been for 39 years. PCR is not a test, its a tool - to make more covid DNA - to enable a subsequent covid test. Using "PCR" and "test" conflated together is balderdash. They are two separate procedures, admittedly used one after...

See my edit above. S.

PCR: a.k.a. Polymerase Chain Reaction...it does what it says on the tin. It amplifies what is there. Your statement " You can't get a false negative pcr " is conflating facts mightily and does little save exhibit your ignorance. Go work for Trump. For those who are not following, PCR only makes...
