Britain, South Africa, America have complained about test kits from China. Claiming that people who where without the virus got confirmed after using Chinese test kits. Beware of allowing yourselves to be used as Guinea pigs. As for now, NCDC is not carrying out checks on test kits from China which they are using |

The British government will seek refunds for millions of coronavirus test kits purchased from China, after a study of the products found them to be unreliable for use with most patients. Professor John Bell, coordinator of coronavirus testing for Public Health England, said Monday that the antibody tests are not reliable when used on any patients who do not qualify as severely ill—i.e. most people being tested. In a blog post, the University of Oxford academic explained: "Sadly, the tests we have looked at to date have not performed well." He added, "We see many false negatives and we also see false positives...This is not a good result for test suppliers or for us." The British government ordered 3.5 million of the antibody tests, largely from China, last month. A provisional order of 17.5 million kits was placed with nine companies, including some in the U.K., the Daily Telegraph noted. But Bell said none were reliable enough to roll out for mass testing. Dr. Sharon Peacock of Public Health England had touted the finger-prick blood test kits as a "game-changer." It was hoped that the kits would allow the government to confirm who had already built up immunity to the virus, allowing them to leave lockdown and rejoin the workforce. Peacock initially said the tests would be rolled out within days, but the apparent failure of the kits means Britons will have to wait longer, though the government Chief Medical Adviser Chris Whitty said Monday he was confident that a successful test would eventually be developed. The government will now seek refunds for the inadequate equipment, according to The Telegraph. https://www.newsweek.com/uk-says-millions-coronavirus-test-kits-bought-china-unreliable-most-patients-1496506 |

I don't think you actually read the source before you posted this. Where is the connection? Kits are unreliable, i.e they don't give accurate results. So how do they infect people? 1 Like |
