What farce.
Musk was referring to the Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests. The rapid, point-of-care tests can allegedly detect the virus in symptomatic patients in approximately 15 minutes. He said he was experiencing symptoms like a cold which prompted him to get tested. Assuming he took his tests together, that means he was positive twice and negative twice within the same hour.
Some doctors have called for a rethinking of how we’re testing for COVID-19, especially among those who are asymptomatic. A positive test can cause further isolation and financial hardship. Considering the data we’re seeing this year, included an alleged drop in flu cases by 95%, it seems more likely that these tests and their diagnoses are doing more harm than good. They’re prolonging and even expanding the lockdowns across the country and around the world despite death rates from the disease remaining stagnant.
