WHO recommended completely non-specific corona virus tests

WHO recommended completely non-specific corona virus tests

translated by Corona Investigative


PRACTICE APPLIED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF APRIL

An important laboratory in Ausgburg, Germany, published a practice recommended by the WHO for testing for the "novel corona virus". According to this practice, samples would also be found "positive" if any virus of the large and very old corona family was confirmed. Should this test mode have found worldwide application, the already controversial infection figures will be further relativized.

On the website of the MVZ Laboratory in Augsburg you can still find a reference to a recommendation issued by the World Health Organization WHO for testing samples for the SARS-Cov-2 virus. The pathogen that plunged the world into chaos due to an alleged pandemic is part of a very large family of viruses known since the 1960s at the latest - the corona viruses.

WHO suggested non-specific positive findings

The release in the wording: The ORF1 gene is specific for SARS-CoV-2, while the E gene is also present in other corona viruses. The cases in which only the ORF gene was amplified have already been evaluated positively. Few cases with isolated positive E gene were classified as doubtful and therefore repeatedly led to queries and problems regarding the further management of affected patients. Taking into account the epidemiological situation and the overall increased positive rate, we are following the WHO recommendation with immediate effect and already issue a result as "positive" if only the E gene has been amplified. 

Patients positive for "any" corona virus ...

It is not known in how many other test laboratories this recommendation of the WHO was taken into account. Translated from medical Latin into German, the information means that the detection of basically any virus from the corona family resulted in a positive finding for SARS-Cov-2, although the patient may not be infected with it. Since then, the website has only stated that other tests have also been supplied and are being used. The talk is of "additional methods", which is why it can be assumed that the WHO test standard is still valid.
