Have you contributed to the facts so far ? No, you seem to be the old grumpy backseater who knows nothing but is being respected for always having an opinion no matter how senseless it might be.

Tell me, do you believe that the earth is flat and that the universe is an illusion created by our rulers?

Are you calling The Lancet a science magazine. How dare you! The Lancet is a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal. It is among the world's oldest and best-known general medical journals. The best medical papers are published there. The Lancet is the best medical journal in Europe and some would say the world. That is official enough for me.

Let me tell you how science works. Scientists do the work and then submit all the evidence to the journal, they send the work and allevidence out to peer-reviewers who assess the paper and ask for clarificartion, check all the data and then agree or disagree about publicaton. This is called peer-reviewing (reviewing by people who actually know about their subject)

So did you read the paper? Did you read the appendix validation.

Oh and by the way, calling Col a moron is not going to help your case ButtHuber, as I can vouch for the fact he is very very far from a moron

Beth, I do know pretty well how science works and that is the reason a test has to be "OFFICIALLY" validated. You are just running round in circles here and cannot give any proof because there is no "OFFICIAL" validation - simple as that. Sorry Beth, but you are contradicting yourself more and more and I only asked for something that should be easy to provide if it was existing.
 
There you are ButtHuber I have found you this:- EVALUATION RESULTS ON 21 TESTS USED IN EUROPE

https://www.finddx.org/covid-19/sarscov2-eval-molecular/molecular-eval-results/

FIND conducted independent evaluations at the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) to verify the limit of detection (LOD) – as reported by the manufacturers – and the clinical performance of 21 manual molecular test kits in comparison to an in-house PCR protocol that was optimized based on the Tib Molbiol assay. Data for all the tests included in the first round of the evaluations are summarized in Table 1. Tests were selected for evaluation according to scoring criteria, but the order in which the evaluations were conducted does not reflect any endorsement or prioritization.

Some tests are not quite as good as others (one is "only" 94 % specific)...but most of the tests are 100% sensitive and 100% specific.

Please now go away and play with the traffic, because the Rs losing to Oxford has put me in a bad mood

See Beth, I would like to have a propper discussion on this but you always try to mutilate my nickname which is a very bad start for a decent conversation.

Apart from that you have not managed to simply show the link of the officially validated PCR test so far. I do not want to waiste your or my time, please insert the official NHS link. Thank you so much.
 
"See Beth, I would like to have a propper discussion on this but you always try to mutilate my nickname which is a very bad start for a decent conversation."
I call you ButtHuber and you call me Beth...where my nickname is qprbeth, so explain that comment.

I have given you the validation figures for 21 of the most commonly used tests as used, not by the manufacturer but by an independant source. This was part of the information given to the SAGE diagnostic evaluators a few months ago. We do not take manufacturers evaluations, we take independant assessments for obvious reasons.

"I do not want to waiste your or my time, please insert the official NHS link. Thank you so much."

I do not want you to waiste (sic) your time on me either...but I am amused that your dysgraphia is worse than mine

Hello Beth,

you certainly do understand the difference between "Butthuber" and "ButtHuber" - do we honestly have to discuss the obvious difference ?

Apart from that I do speak and write 5 languages and some misspelling does happen - I do apologize for that.

5 languages - does this include Gibberish ?
 
I have put ButtHuber/Butthuber into Google translate and get no translation, so no idea what the hell you are on about . I will correct my obvious misspelling . Unfortunately "I do speak and write only one language and some misspelling does happen - I do apologize for that".

I quite like your helplessness. You are the prototype of the totally clueless Kymer Green.

My recomendation for you - please read "Behind the Green mask" from Rosa Koire. It is an eye opener and you are certainly blind.

Beth, you know what I meant. I do have respect for you and that is all I ask for myself.
 
I think asking for respect Butthuber, when my "sin" is capitilising a letter in your twosyllable name when you come on here proport rubbish ( and here I am only talking about the bit I know...the science of diagnostic testing and not the Agenda stuff, so do not attack me on that) and calling so many of the people that engage with you stupid (including today calling rangerCol a moron) is a little rich

Er...what is a Kymer Green <confused> I've also never heard of a Roas Koire. If you are refering to a certain dumb blond Californian who thinks that a baseless conspiracy theory is enough to set against scientific facts then that's your affair, but don't expect me to waste my time on such drivel. Besides which you are showing your true colours again - in reality you are not remotely interested in Covid 19, but are just using the present crisis to attack other things such as the environmental movement, a strange shadowy elite in waiting which you are not prepared to name, Bill Gates, George Soros, Greta Thunberg and a hundred and one other things which you don't like - including trying to link this whole thing to a supposed secret plan to dilute European culture through mass immigration (presumably also planned by the same hidden elite). So stop trying to kid everybody that your main interest is in Covid 19 - it isn't.

Beth, when I started questioning the Virus consequence here I met very much hatred rather than an open discussion. I did not start insulting any other member here but some people thought I was an easy pray repeatedly insulting me. They called my "prat". "German BuTT" and so forth which is just not my style.

I am an R´s supporter and the first game I attended was in 1984 (3-1 against WBA on a vers sunny afternoon). I am a little disappointed that quite a few people here got mad at me about my views on Corona whereas I had hoped for an open discussion. The only reason why I have started that it is that I would like to show my fellow R´s what they will have to expect. You do seem to be a reasonable person - please stay that way .

Have a good Evening.

Mate, did you just watch what a fellow Green companion said about your own party ? You are just ignoring the 100 Million deaths that communsim has caused - lack of education. Shall we meet in Germany discussing that issue ?

You have a good evening too BH (am I using the capitals OK this time)
Lets all cool off have a beer or whatever is the tipple

You can read about climate change etc and I will go back to assessing diagnostic assays for scientific publications

What does all this have to do with Communism or the Green Party ? Is the Green Party responsible for the lockdown, or the fact that you have to socially distance, or wear a mask ? As far as I can see the German Green Party has said very little regarding Covid 19 - in fact their response has been non existent. So why the constant attacks on the Green Party on a thread which is supposed to be about Covid 19 ? It is quite obvious that you are using the theme of Covid 19 for political purposes. As it happens I have many criticisms of the German Green Party (despite being a member - just) but here is not the place for those.

Just fine with me

They are storming the "Reichstag" in Berlin mate. They will otherthrow the fascists system tonight and you obviously do not understand what is happening.
 
Just for the hornet... the Germans took over the "Rheichstag" without any violance - the police took of there helmets and left the place. !989 reloaded.
