>We undertook a validation and found a less than perfect sensitivity of 82.6% (75.7-88.2) when previous PCR-confirmed COVID-19 patients were tested.
Nice accurate test they used for that Danish study

Page 7 Limitations section where you can read how they hand waved this away
They also point out the specificity was 99.5(98.7-99.9)

Why do people keep talking about social distancing?
My state is on full lockdown. Yet, stores are still packed with people. Go to any big store and you'll have aisles full of people talking, touching and interacting with each other. There is no fucking social distancing. Nobody cares about this pointless hoax.

Still clinging to your lockdown like a retard when a handful of countries never went full retard lockdown?

>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 makes men infertile
There is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 can cause infertility. Tests find that the virus is undetectable in the testicles and sperm: medrxiv.org
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 has antibody dependent enhancement (ADE)
There is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 has ADE. Attempts at re-infection elicit a robust antibody response: biorxiv.org
>CVG MYTH: You cannot become immune to COVID-19
Though we cannot be sure how long immunity lasts, antibodies titres are found in recovered COVID-19 patients and all known coronaviruses confer at least some degree of temporary immunity: medrxiv.org
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 mutates rapidly and there are multiple strains
COVID-19 has a relatively stable genome and mutates slower than influenza. Reports of multiple strains reference negligible genetic differences that have no effect on virulence or immune response: livescience.com
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 contains HIV
Early debunked reports suggested the Novel Coronavirus genome contained HIV-like sequences. This HIV-like sequence refers to the virus’ spike protein, its mechanism for binding to ACE2 receptors on cells. Genomic analysis suggests that whilst the novel RNA Coronavirus mimics HIV’s binding mechanism, said mechanism is an independently arising protein of a different kind and does not entail a HIV-like pathogenesis: archive.is
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 destroys the immune system
Whilst COVID-19 can attack T-Cells, no evidence of viral reproduction in them could be found. Lymphopenia is common in viral infections and T-Cell counts should recover post-infection: medrxiv.org

>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 stays latent in the body and can reactivate
The Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 is, unlike the DNA viruses HIV and Herpes, an RNA Virus. There are no scientifically known mechanisms by which RNA viruses become latent. Whilst it is true that the virus (like SARS) can persist for many weeks in patients, the body should ultimately clear the virus. Cases of ‘reactivation’ are most likely false negatives and mark the temporary failure of the immune system to clear small pockets of the virus after the main infection: archive.is
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 infects and hides in the central nervous system
Whilst in very rare cases COVID-19 may infect the brainstem, this phenomenon is seen in other viral infections, including in influenza, and is known as encephalitis: pubs.rsna.org
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 causes permanent lung damage
Whilst it is true that lungs can be damaged in some severe courses of infection, this is a common phenomenon in respiratory pathogens and particularly in pneumonia. Non-atypical lung lesions recover in-line with pneumonia recoveries and Ground Glass Opacities often disappear spontaneously: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
>CVG MYTH: It is impossible to create a Coronavirus vaccine
Whilst there has never been a Coronavirus vaccine in humans, bovine corona vaccines exist and some success has been achieved in creating a vaccine for MERS. Experiments with vaccines in China already demonstrate that immunity can be conferred on monkeys via vaccine. Previous attempts for SARS and other common Coronaviruses were discontinued due to lack of need or want: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

>The overall unadjusted seroprevalence was 1.8% (CI: 1.6-2.1).
>After adjusting for assay
sensitivity and specificity including their CI, the overall seroprevalence was 1.7% (CI: 0.9-2.3)
The results were adjusted to take into account the estimated sensitivity.
