Last night at our sportsman's meeting I was talking to a guy who said his wife was called back to work. She showed up at her workplace only to be told that all employees returning to work must be tested for the virus. If the test is negative for the virus, they will be allowed back.

She and another fellow worker went to the testing site, filled out paperwork, and were sent to the back of the line of people waiting to be tested. After nearly an hour of waiting, they tired of waiting and decided to return to work without having been tested and say they tested negative.

Three days later, they each received a letter stating they had tested positive for the virus!

Another guy listening said he had heard similar stories. We wondered how many tests are really positive?

There are lots and lots of similar stories going around.

Fake News - in my opinion.

I guess u have to decide if the guy was lying about the experience his wife had or not. I've seen the mayor of Wichita lie about the impacts of the virus in that city. Wiss miss thinks your lying about the story or the the guy that told u it was lying. Its for each of us to look around and decide what is truth and what isn't.

Playing the devils advocate here..... so if you hear it happening frequently it must be a lie? Doesn't sound like rational thought. Maybe if there is some other considerations to go along with it being reported too frequently than a person MIGHT be able to justify a conclusion of untruthfulness. Based off my conservatiions with people in the health profession that I speak with directly and trust to share what they are seeing first hand i conclude there is a lot of deception with this virus to magnify its impact on the population.

There is incompetence in all fields of endeavor. But ask yourself why someone would fill out their paperwork and then go BACK to the end of the line. ?

We have ongoing testing here in the parking lot of our local clinic. You don't fill out your paperwork until it is handed to you by the medical professional. That person then, does the nasal swab and finally signs the paperwork.

At no point does your paperwork leave your hands before the swab goes up your nose.

I suspect that is the case nationwide. Still, there is no shortage of people trying to make things more difficult and contribute to a mistrust of the medical community.

I could believe this if it was being handled by the DMV

If that indeed is how the paperwork is handled your point has some validity

Here drive up testing is no more and can only get tested if you have systems or direct contact with positive person. Takes any where from 24 to 96 hours plus to get results depending on where you got tested.

I think the stories are made up too. I don't see any advantage to the the people doing the testing, to give a false positive, that outweighs the massive disadvantages if caught. All the details given are incredibly vague too. If it really hapenned there would be names, dates, times and places.

I have an employee i sent home until he could provide me a doctor's note saying he was clear. His grandmother has the Rona . He got tested and eight days later the results came in negative .

So he didn't have the virus eight days prior to the doctors note saying he was clear to return to work , but could have contracted it in the last eight days


Lots of holes in the system ........and alot of bs to go with it

Alot of the bs is money driven as well as political

I am disappointed this post is an hour old and we haven't heard sheeple yet. Maybe this is more about the hogs that are not led but driven. Driven by their will to disrupt and divide and conquer. There is always someone trying to prove something fake by doing something even more fake in an attempt to make the pieces fit.

Right ! The test only provides a snapshot of your health at that moment. You could easily test differently a week later.

I'll take this opportunity to provide a real-life example of how fake stuff and conspiracy crap gets started.

It happened right here on this forum.

Here is the link to the thread:

https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/6950857/re-covid-19-dna#Post6950857


Read the first post and then the last post.

I wanted to get some professional input on the OP claim and asked a medical professional for his/her opinion.

Here is the response;

"NO The cost to sequence every individual whether they are tested via swab or blood test for antibodies would be crazy. To isolate, purify, lyse, probe capture and then catalogue a genetic profile of the human DNA would be a ton of work. It would also be the largest medical legal issue EVER. To run tests or store identified data That was not consented or agreed upon would violate numerous fundamental laws we have regarding protected health information. If the government really wanted to do that why wouldn’t they just use blood from wellness exams, swabs from flu or strep tests etc?"

OK. there you have the opinion of a medical doctor.........who is, by the way, a member of this forum. No I won't identify the member.


So it is my opinion that Slick Pan, in the link above, was repeating something he had heard elsewhere..........with no basis in fact.

Pretty easy to see how that sort of thing can spread in this day of social media.......................IMO

My point is an eight day test result is absolutely worthless

This. It's an urban legend/myth/tall tale. So and so goes in to get tested, leaves before getting tested because they don't feel like waiting, and then get told they tested positive a few days later.

While the story has been heard many times over and not likely true , we'd be kidding ourselves if this government/covid isn't rife with fraud .

You can believe what you want, many will only believe that this happens when they have a personal contact they trust tell them it happened.

I have already had this experience from a personal friend and her mother who tried to get tested but left the line after over 2 hours wait time, they handed the clipboard and paper work to a staff member and left without being tested. Phone call the next afternoon saying they both had tested positive, they told the caller that they never test, the response from the caller was I only give the results. They received a mail confirmation about a week later saying they were both positive.

There are also many false positive test out there that never get taken off the books.


I don't watch football but I did hear this recently happened to Matthew Stafford. Sounds like he tested 6 times over a span of a few days and tests were 1-,2-, 3+,4-,5-,6-. Last I heard he can be with the team now because he had 3 negatives in a row.
