As is said multiple times in that thread the covid 19 PCR tests is)has been superseded by a PCR test that is able to test for more than one virus on the same swab sample.
Just to confirm in clear language,
The test that is replacing the current PCR test is also a PCR test.

Something that got memoryholed real quick is that one of the sequences they are using in the pcr test exists in chromosome 8, and thereby when dna from genes within chromosome 8 are transcribed to rna it *may* show a positive in the pcr test. While there is not a a set schedule on gene replication it can occur upto 50 times per second so i would think this could happen quite frequently.

and so folks here understand, nonspecific works with covid tests as a daily job. Where I'd be careful of taking brain surgery advice from a proctologist, getting testing info from a guy who uses the tests in his daily job likely has some decent info. Plus he hasn't been known to peddle the bad kind of BS. In this conversation, he has clout. IMHO

This is what has been happening, since of course the FDA and CDC admitted that the tests they’ve been using for all this time don’t differentiate between covid and the flu. For those of you who doubt this, see their recent lab alerts instructing labs to discontinue those tests by Jan 1 and switch to tests that can tell the difference.
There’s also the pesky fact that covid-19 hasn’t been isolated by anyone anywhere, and the reference sample that is sent out when requested, is a computer-generated “sample.”
