Why is it that

every Trump administration official tests negative until they have symptoms, then they are suddenly testing positive? Are they using bad tests or are they lying?

Probably both. Those quick tests are not very accurate. High rate of false negatives. tblue37 Oct 2020 #1

the latest technology as it gives 30-50% false negatives (The unit, called ID Now is produced by Abbott Laboratories).

Typical, right, for this inept admin when all they have to do is order the latest and best? Shows IMO they view the virus and testing as a nuisance not to be taken seriously, only affects the little people—just seven million of them.

are going to lie for as long as they can get away with it. Meanwhile, some of them will probably still put other people at risk by not isolating themselves or wearing masks. They will do anything to keep from admitting that Democrats and doctors were right.

Good luck with that herd immunity guys and in their case, it is definitely herd mentality as well.
