if you did calculus, you probably realized that even infinitely small values can have an effect when theres too many of them :unsure: so yeah, mass control isnt really a conspiracy theory, its very likely
it's funny how people that just want hard proofs for this virus, while trying to live normal life are conspiracy theorists,
while people walking with masks+face shields, latex gloves, hazmat suits, and hand sanitizers in pockets are considered normal people.
and all of that for a virus that is such a joke, that if you told some1 10 years about mathemathical statistics this virus has with sick/dead, and facts on tests/vaccines, they would laugh and call you a conspiracy theorist

This is where you need to have a nuanced understanding of the false negative and false positive rate. The false negative rate (where you have the virus but come up negative) is not negligable. The false positive rate (where you don't have the virus but come up positive) is virtually zero. This is because it's done by PCR. I run genotyping on PCR every week. It's easy to mess the whole run up and get 20 samples to all show negative. It's virtually impossible to mess up and get all samples to show up positive. The only real way to get a false positive is to contaminate all the other samples with a positive, but if you're doing that it's really obvious.
So if you come up with a positive, you almost certainly have the virus. If you come up negative you might still have the virus.
so that means we have more positive cases than we know, which makes more people infected with this virus walking around and spreading it, which makes % of death rate even more ridicolous.
thanks for clarification and actually proving everyone's point on how hilarious this whole virus is.
cheers buddy
