>To do that, you need a very sensitive test, not something that only confirms symptomatic infection.

Now, that makes sense.

But you have also take into account that these are not just numbers. But these are numbers that can destroy countries and communities by implying perpetual lockdowns.

It becomes even more comical that RT-PCR does even when positive, does not imply presence of the virus, but some fragments of a dead virus or even genetic material of some other viruses.

I can only be appalled at the indifference of these people to mandate lockdowns that destroy lives and businesses, based on positivity rate of such a test.
