The PCR test developed by the University of Washington School of Medicine (UW Medicine) targets just 100 nucleotides that are specific to SARS-CoV-2, Dr. Alex Greninger, an assistant professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and an assistant director of the Clinical Virology Laboratory at UW Medicine, told The Seattle Times.
These 100 nucleotides include two genes in the SARS-CoV-2 genome. A sample is considered positive if the test finds both genes, inconclusive if just one gene is found, and negative if neither gene is detected.
Take it for what it's worth since I'm not going to bother to look up a link, but I've heard that the inventor of PCR said that it should never be used to evaluate the metrics of a communicable disease. It's just not the right tool for the job.
Secondly, that there are a number of cycles above which the white noise simply dampens out any meaningful results. It's not a binary thing either. As you approach the number things get progressively valueless. 'They' need to get way up to the maximum number of cycles to get a result (and it's well know that the result is often ambiguous and/or irreproducibile.)
Thirdly, the only consistant thing about the covid-19 saga is how the 'authorities' (led by the very highly suspect WHO) fuck up the segment selection and the 'primers' needed to trigger the chain reaction. The U.S.'s performance was even worse.
All of these things and many more are making me lean toward the hypothesis that the SARS-cov-2 is mostly just something which a lot of people have in tiny quantities so it made a good virus upon which to pull the long planned and gamed out '
balognavirus scamdemic' against.

PCR tests work by detecting specific genetic material within the virus. Depending on the type of PCR on hand, health care workers might swab the back of the throat; take a saliva sample; collect a liquid sample from the lower respiratory tract; or secure a stool sample.
....Once a sample arrives at the lab, researchers extract its nucleic acid, which holds the virus' genome. Then, researchers can amplify certain regions of the genome by using a technique known as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. This, in effect, gives researchers a large sample that they can then compare to the new coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2.....
Tests from UW Medicine that are either inconclusive or positive are sent to Washington's Public Health Laboratories and the CDC for further testing, The Seattle Times reported.
In contrast, serological tests look for specific antibodies that the body has produced to fight the virus. "If they detect those antibodies, [the test] gives a positive result," [/i]

https://www.livescience.com/how-coronavirus-tests-work.htmlWe're sitting here well into Q2 and expecting a piss-ant antibody test '
any day now'? And these people are going to develop and test a whole vaccine in 18 months or less? Give me a fuckin break. There is definitely '
something rotten in Denmark' so-to-speak.
On the brighter side, I'm sure that the 'covid-19' vaccine will 'work'. It will 'work' in the same way Cloroquine, Licorice, bleach, vitamin-c, Schwepps tonic water, etc, etc, etc 'work'. As they say,
the easiest problem to fight and win against is one which doesn't exist. That is pretty much the hallmark of most vaccines though.
very scientific answer.
