Despite numerous reports from respected public health bodies acknowledging that up to 90% of those testing "positive" for coronavirus may be wrongly diagnosed, no one is asking whether that could be case when it comes to President Trump's COVID-19 infection.

Trump announced via Twitter that he and Melania had tested positive for the virus, prompting a wave of celebration and gloating from leftists who believe it will harm his re-election chances.

However, as a recent report in the New York Times notes, the mostly widely used diagnostic test for coronavirus, called the PCR test, is notoriously unreliable.

"In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus," the NYT reported.

"On Thursday, the United States recorded 45,604 new coronavirus cases, according to a database maintained by The Times. If the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts and New York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4,500 of those people may actually need to isolate and submit to contact tracing."
