Why the infection numbers are misleading

The PCR test measures all sorts of things, but at least in Germany no longer SARS-Cov2- viruses.
The test cannot distinguish between the different corona viruses.
The test cannot distinguish between fragments of viruses and viruses that are still infectious.
The test cannot differentiate between an infection that has occurred a long time ago and an acute infection.
The test now has an error rate of eighty to ninety percent if the reaction is positive.
The test says nothing about whether the person in question will fall ill or not.
The test does not tell us whether the person tested positive can transmit the virus or not.

The PCR test measures everything possible but in Germany no longer SARS Cov2 viruses.

The test cannot differentiate between the different corona viruses.

The test cannot differentiate between fragments of viruses and viruses that are still infectious.

The test cannot differentiate between an infection that occurred far in the past and an acute infection.

If the reaction is positive, the test now has an error rate of eighty to ninety percent.

The test does not say anything about whether the person concerned will get sick or not.

The test does not provide any information about whether the person who tested positive can transmit the virus or not.

In scientific parlance, the term infection only means that a virus has spread in the body. In everyday life, however, the term infection has a different meaning and signals an illness. The media mix this meaning and stir up fear. In fact, however, the colonization of the human body with viruses is normal. And corona viruses are not among the more dangerous, e.g. children and young people do not become ill with them.

And if an adult is attacked by a mutated corona virus, he will not notice anything in over fifty percent of the cases. In another 35 percent of the cases, he has a cold. In a few cases, medical treatment is necessary. If a person suffering from a respiratory virus is test positive, the SARS Cov2 virus could be the cause or another of the many possible viruses. The influenza virus, which caused high five-digit deaths in previous flu waves, would be the more dangerous virus. In order to be able to differentiate between these, one would have to search for both SARS-Cov2 and influenza viruses. But that didn't happen this season. Rather, all deaths in people who have once tested positive, even if they have long since recovered from it, are attributed to the corona virus. Nevertheless, a five-digit number was not reached.

Now that the season is long over and no more respiratory infections caused by SARS-Cov2 can be detected, the press is trying to keep the fear and tension going and inventing chronic processes and fantasizing that the average age of the “sick” is 32 years would etc. the wildest claims are just good enough.

Virus colonization is normal; every now and then a “new” virus is added. And it is common knowledge that many old and sick people die of pneumonia. The only new thing is that this issue is being exploited politically.
