Is just being tested a Case, even if it’s negative?

They say it’s a person, no matter how many times they test positive, is one case.

I’m pretty sure that’s BS and they’re count every positive test as a case.

Any positive test is considered a case and used to shut things down and scare people, even though:

- the test yields a lot of false positives
- it's the first time "case" has included people who aren't sick

It's been blown out of proportion since day 1, on purpose and for nefarious reasons. How do people not see that?

Observation: The same people who count COVID cases also claim that there was an error-free count of the recent POTUS mail-in ballots nationwide.

Positive test. PCR or rapid or any other test that I can’t think of currently.

Crazy. Shingles is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. So it’s like saying if you had chickenpox as a kid, you now have shingles. Even if you don’t have shingles.

Wouldn't that mean the case count is way over estimated and the fatality rate is much much higer?

Or are you saying the fatality rate is low and the case count is also low?

Yes. They are counting every positive test as a case. People on this board were adamant that it wasn’t the case, but they’ve just come out and said so.

So if you test positive, and then go back three times trying to clear to go back to work, that’s 4 total positive “cases” towards the statistics they are using to justify all this nonsense.
