Coronavirus Reinfections in South Korea Attributed to Faulty Test Kits
What the Korea Centers for Disease Control is essentially saying is that the coronavirus detection kit was faulty and that is why it is showing reinfections:
Some coronavirus patients in Korea who tested positive for Covid-19 after recovery — sparking alarm about possible reinfections — probably did so because the country’s sensitive testing procedure detected “dead” virus fragments within their bodies.
A clinical committee for new infectious diseases within the state-backed National Medical Center said Wednesday in a press briefing that there was a low chance that those people were actually reinfected with Covid-19 and said the country’s RT-PCR testing method seemed to have confused a dead virus fragment with an active one.
Fears of reinfection arose after the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported cases of recovered patients testing positive for Covid-19 again. By Monday, there were at least 277 people who fell into that category.

LOL, how is it a ‘faulty’ kit when the kit has done exactly what it’s supposed to do, detect the virus – dead or alive, doesn’t matter. It did do the job. This site loves to bring sensational titles to paint a story that fits its agenda.
WHo praises no-shutdown Sweden as “model”…

I just find it interesting how so many people for political reasons want Sweden to fail with their strategy against the coronavirus when just a few months ago the same people were championing Sweden as a successful example of socialism. You would think everyone would want Sweden’s strategy to prove over time to be successful so lockdowns can be lifted.
You’re exactly right, GI. South Dakota was the same way. And Brazil.
Lock down or no lock down, CCP virus took a similar trajectory. In the end, no lock down is the way to go.
