Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

How did a White House staffer catch the Corona virus? He is showing symptoms, which is why he was tested, but they're mild- like a cold. They claim that the incubation period, from the time of contact to the first appearance of symptoms is 2 to 14 days. So that means, that this staffer must have contacted someone with the virus no more than 14 days ago, and probably less. 

But, how is that possible? Because: 14 days ago, the White House was already on high alert. They were monitoring every person who entered the building, determining whether they had traveled anywhere that's stricken. They had hand sanitizer put out everywhere. Here's an article from March 6, which is over 2 weeks ago, detailing what they were doing then.

And this staffer worked for Pence, whom Trump assigned to head the Corona Task Force. So, the staffer's awareness and consciousness about the dangers and the need for diligence and caution must have been sky-high? 

So how, could he, in the last 14 days, have been infected by someone with corona virus? Whose hand did he shake? And remember, at the White House, they keep track of everything and everybody.  

This reminds me of Jack Ruby (supposedly) sneaking into the Dallas Police garage despite all the high-security that was imposed. So, how did the virus sneak into this staffer?  

Seriously, what do you think happened with this guy? Do you think he got lazy in his personal life? Do you think he shook hands with somebody at Walmart? Do you think he was talking with his neighbor over the fence and picked it up that way? You know he must racking his brain over it, right? Because, he believes in this stuff, doesn't he? So, he's got to be narrowing it down to leading possibilities, right? But, don't  you think we can be certain that it had to be somebody who was completely and totally asymptomatic?  Because, surely he wasn't shaking hands with anyone who was coughing and sneezing and complaining of being sick, right? So, it must have  been somebody who appeared to be well, right? But, do you think that person went on to become sick? And don't you think that the White House, with all its resources, would be determined to find out? Because after all, if this asymptomatic person could give it to the staffer, he could give it to others.  Right? Obviously, the person who gave it to the staffer was not in quarantine but should have been. Right? So, they are going to get on it to find him. Right?

That's one way of looking at it, but here's another: How about the test is bogus?  And before I go any further with that, let me ask YOU something.  On what basis do YOU accept the validity of the test? You haven't studied it technically and scientifically, have you? You've never analyzed it and appraised it, have you? You accept that it's valid for one reason, and one reason only: because "authority" tells you that it is. Isn't that true?

Well, maybe you should learn about the test and decide for yourself, using your own rational mind, whether it's valid. And I am going to help you by laying out what the test consists of.

So, please read what follows and do so with a critical mind. I don't mean critical of me because I'm just the messenger. 

So, it starts with them, that is, the Chinese, having determined the "genome" of the virus, all 30,000 nucleotides in its RNA.  They sent the list to the CDC. So, that's what they're looking for. 

Next, they collect the sputum sample, and when the lab gets it, they look for and find a piece of RNA looks like it could have come from the corona virus. So, they decide to test it. First, they convert it to DNA by using reverse transcriptase, an enzyme. So now, they have it as DNA. But, it's just a piece of the DNA. Then, they heat the DNA to denature it, which separates the double strands. So now, you've got single strands.  

But, let's go back to the 30,000 nucleotides in the RNA of the corona virus. They can't look for 30,000 nucleotides; it's too many. So, they decide that they're going to look for just a short stretch of nucleotides, one that they think captures the distinctive "genetic signature" of the corona-19 virus. They settle on a stretch of just 100 nucleotides. They're going to use that short stretch of 100 nucleotides as a proxy for the 30,000. That's .33% of the entire genome of the virus. You saw the dot there, right? Just checking. 

But, how are they going to pinpoint those 100? They pinpoint them by applying primers. A primer is a very short stretch of DNA that is synthesized. It's designed to have an affinity to bond with the DNA that is undergoing testing at a certain, exact spot on the chain. They also apply a second primer with an affinity to bond with the DNA at another spot on the chain that is 100 nucleotides down from the first spot. And that's how they pick out the 100 nucleotides they want to duplicate. Then, they cool it and apply the polymerase enzyme which copies the portion of DNA from primer to primer. The copying restores the single strands of DNA back to double strands. So, it goes from 2 individual strands to 4 strands that consist of two double strands. 

They keep repeating that process 45 or 50 times which makes it grow exponentially until you have billions of strands of DNA. That is: you have billions of little strands of DNA, just 100 nucleotides  long out of 30,000. And here's the clincher: they apply a florescent compound to the primers, and as the primers accumulate in the growing pool of substrate, it gives off a florescence, which their meters can read, and that's what constitutes a positive result.

So, before I go any further, what do YOU think? Do you think there is any possibility of error in that? Or does it sound iron-clad to you, that if they detect that florescence, then, bingo, you've got corona virus. 

Be aware that they do say, and often, that there can be false negatives, but they don't even whisper the possibility that there could be a false positive. But, just yesterday, the Chinese published a paper saying that there are plenty of false positives. And just today they announced that they are no longer going to count "positive test results in asymptomatic patients" as valid because of the abundance of false positives. This is by my good friend, Dr. Robert Sniadach.

So, let me ask you one final question: Let's say that you, yourself, get symptoms of a mild cold that feels in every way like the mild colds you've had before in your life. And let's say you haven't been to China, and you've not been around anyone who is sick, and you haven't shaken hands with strangers; you've just got a cold, like you've gotten before, and you don't know how. What do you think it mostly is? A cold or corona disease? And if they do that test on you, and tell you from it that you don't have a cold, that you've got corona disease because our test says so, are you going to buy it?
