Even those used in hospital are not reliable...when I say that I mean that there are a lot of false positives because the tests are not specific to Covid 19....they may return a positive result from viral proteins that can be up to a year old(so a cold you had last august may result in a positive test result).

Much of the hoo-ha about the rising number of infections is not about people being ill...it is about people having POSITIVE tests(and one person may have three or four tests and each on will be recorded as if they were a seoarate person)...and a positive result in the absence of symptoms does not constitute a case of Covid 19.

So why would people without symptoms go and have tests...well if you need an investigation or have to visit a hospital for some form of treatment, then before this can be done you are required to have a test...if the test proves positive, your investigation/treatment is defeered untill you turn up a negative result....so the places where most testing is done will look like they are a hotbed of infection.

you don't find something unless you are looking for it.
Also what needs to be recognised is that the PCR test was never meant to be a diagnostic tool...even the man who invesnted it tells us that...and it was not meant to be a diagnostic tool because it has a poor level of reliability.
