Long-haul symptoms affect majority of Covid-19 patients, UA study finds

This article only make statements without references, which is troublesome. I agree with the recommendation to be careful of what you share, but just because it’s an article written by a medical doctor/institution, it doesn’t give it a free pass. I can show you articles of many other doctors and institutions contradicting many of these statements related to PCR.

Also interesting to note: “ Every PCR test must be validated, meaning checked for its sensitivity and specificity.”

How is this tested? Against which gold standard?

So many questions are left open still…

No there aren’t. You have done exactly zero legwork. These have all been answered if you look at they FDA website instead of social media.

See Table 9 on page 45 for specificity results of 2019-nCoVRT-PCR diagnostic panel: https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download
