What Does "Testing +" Mean?
1) PCR tests cannot distinguish between an infectious virus and non-infectious nucleic acid (viral remnants). You could have caught something, beaten it, and still "tested positive" weeks later or longer. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30868-0/fulltext

2) PCR tests can detect very minute amounts of both infectious viruses and non-infectious nucleic acid, meaning there may not be enough there to make you or anyone you contact sick, but you'll still test positive. https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/pcr-positives-what-do-they-mean/
3) This means you could have had Covid, had mild to no symptoms, beaten it with a strong immune system, fully recovered, and still test positive.
4) The PCR test isn't the only one used to make determinations. Serology testing is apparently also used, despite the warnings that other coronaviruses (not Covid) can give positive results.
5) As I discussed in a recent thread, serologic testing is what the Canadian Covid-19 Task Force uses to make their determinations about lockdowns and mask mandates. https://twitter.com/greg_scott84/status/1324247622484283392?s=19
6) What does "new cases" mean?
If you test positive for Covid-19, it's a "new case". If you test positive every day for a week, it's counted as 7 new cases. Every time someone is tested and it shows a positive result, it's counted as a new case.

7) I've seen videos of several nurses saying this but the videos are deleted immediately. If there are other nurses/health care professionals who can confirm this, please comment or contact me directly.
8) It should now be clear why WHO Director Tedros Adhanom and many politicians are clamouring to have as many people tested as possible. Lockdowns and mask mandates are based on cases, not hospitalizations or deaths. This is why the WHO changed their definition of "pandemic".
9) Mask mandates and lockdowns are being issued by decree through Provincial/local departments and not the government itself. They're based on "cases", and we know that a positive test does not mean one is even sick or transmissible.
10) We're being lied to at every step and they are going to make it so that everyone must have at least one dose of a vaccine.
11) This is all based on "positive cases" determined by flawed testing. I hope things make a lot more sense now.
