Common Cold May Trigger Positive COVID-19 Antibody Test …. Sneeze and cough spread far and fast ...part 100
At this point we all know this is not about a virus, it is about an election. Come fast November 3rd. God help us all.
2020 THE YEAR OF THE RAT, NOT THE BAT!
No one knows when COVID 19 started EXACTLY! Workers who worked in the TELSA factory in Wuhan, returned to California in October 2019 and were sick with Flu-like symptoms.
The doctors in casualty didn't know what was wrong with them. They treated them as if they had some kind of viral infection. They couldn't say what virus it was. So the infection was in Wuhan before October 2019 and millions of Chinese had spread all over the world in the Chinese New Year 2020 – Year of the Rat NOT the BAT.
The Chinese Lunar New Year holiday, the start of which coincided with the emergence of COVID-19, is the most celebratory time of the year in China, during which a massive human migration takes place as individuals travel back to their hometowns. People in China are estimated to make close to 3 billion trips over the 40-day travel period, or Chunyun, of the Lunar New Year holiday.
About 5 million people left Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province and epicenter of the COVID-19 epidemic, before the start of the travel ban on Jan 23, 2020. About a third of those individuals travelled to locations outside of Hubei province. Limiting the social contacts of these individuals was crucial for COVID-19 control because patients with no or mild symptoms can spread the virus.
So?
There was no need for LOCKDOWN. The virus had spread WORLDWIDE by the time governments started LOCKDOWN. If it was a killer virus, then you were dead or you had built up antibodies by the time of LOCKDOWN.
Right now, there are three types of COVID-19 tests:1
- Molecular — Also known as a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test, this test detects whether genetic material of the virus is present in the sample collected from your throat or sputum (the back of your sinuses)
- Antigen — This test, sometimes referred to as "rapid test," detects viral proteins
- Antibody — Also known as a serology test, it detects the presence of antibodies in your blood
The first two, molecular and antigen, are so-called "viral tests" that detect active infections, whereas the antibody test will tell you if you've developed antibodies in response to a previous coronavirus infection. It typically takes your body one to three weeks after an infection clears to start making antibodies against the virus in question.
Common Cold Can Trigger Positive COVID-19 Antibody Test
Each of these COVID-19 tests have their issues and controversies. The problem with antibody testing is that there are seven different coronaviruses known to cause respiratory illness in humans.2 Four of them cause symptoms associated with the common cold:
- 229E
- NL63
- OC43
- HKU1
In addition to the common cold, OC43 and HKU1 — two of the most commonly encountered betacoronaviruses3 — are also known to cause bronchitis, acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia in all age groups.4 The other three human coronaviruses — which are capable of causing more serious respiratory illness — are:
- SARS-CoV
- MERS-CoV
- SARS-CoV-2
The tricky part is that the antibodies created by these different coronaviruses appear very similar, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention admits recovering from the common cold can trigger a positive antibody test for COVID-19, even if you were never infected with SARS-CoV-2 specifically. As explained on the CDC's "Test for Past Infection" web page:5
Antibody tests check your blood by looking for antibodies, which may tell you if you had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Antibodies are proteins that help fight off infections and can provide protection against getting that disease again (immunity). Antibodies are disease specific …
A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.

Thank you … There are seven different corona viruses known to cause respiratory illness in humans. The antibodies created by these different corona viruses appear very similar, and recovering from the common cold may trigger a positive antibody test for COVID-19, even if you were never infected with SARS-CoV-2 specifically.
While experts at the Mayo Clinic claim cross-reactive antibody tests were an early problem that has been corrected and eliminated, the CDC has not confirmed this
A Singaporean study found common colds caused by the beta coronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 appear to make you more resistant to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and that the resulting immunity might last as long as 17 years
Other studies suggest immunity after COVID-19 infection may only last between two and 12 months
When Should You Get Tested?
As for testing, I do not recommend getting a viral test (which checks for active infection) unless you have COVID-19 symptoms and need it to guide your treatment. Swabbing the back of your nasal cavity has its risks, and can actually introduce an infection or, some speculate, even some more nefarious agents.
Getting tested just for the heck of it doesn't really make sense. Even if you test negative, you can get infected at any point after leaving the test site. If you have to get tested in order to travel or return to work, an antibody test may be more appropriate. Even if your antibodies wane with time, you're still going to be immune for a while.
The best test are your clinical symptoms. If you have symptoms suggestive of corona virus infection, then my best recommendation is to start nebulizing food grade hydrogen peroxide at 0.1% .
I would also make sure that your vitamin D levels are adequate. If you don't know your vitamin D level and have not been in the sun or taken over 5,000 units of vitamin D a day, it would likely help to take one bolus dose of 100,000 units, and make sure you are taking plenty of magnesium, which helps convert the vitamin D to its active immune modulating form.
Another great option that is less expensive, easier to get and likely more effective than hydroxychloroquine, would be quercetin with zinc as discussed in my recent article on the subject.
The countries leading in deaths from Italy, Spain and New York State?
Bodies piling up?
Nurses and emergency workers burned out and committing suicide. My friends and family who've died and gotten scarred from this virus?
You think this all boils down to an election?
Nice armchair quarterbacking from whatever safe bubble you're in. Can't you see beyond your own view that coincidence sometimes happens. Yes, *** happens! I love the 'health' advice
I appreciate the wealth of information on the healing herbs and foods. Control your environment the best you can. Science offers the deforestation of Wuhan, China where wildlife is pushed out to the point where they get sick and mutate to other animals to be spread to humans.

Want to add word or two?
?
The start of the Lockdown the biggest issue has been the NUMBERS that are infected or can infect others or have died - all these numbers were initially theoretical and based on modelling by predictive analysis - after these completely FALSE figures were used to subject the planetary humans with a campaign of MEGA fear –
Then the modelling figures were shown to be vastly exaggerated and were supplanted by tests which were used to bolster up numbers to keep the public fear factor growing -
These tests were not standardized and had variable results leading to vastly inflated numbers to continue the fear factor - then the death figures were incentivized and a bounty was paid to hospitals if a death was reported as Covid - this vastly inflated death figures -
All this effort in order to convince the public that they should be scared and fear was the required response to DISHONEST numbers - in this criminal misleading of the public with fear tactics the propaganda disseminators like TV news and newspapers bludgeoned the public mind with constant play on fear numbers -
Rockefeller plan to decimate the world population and "save" humanity by destroying humanity - these are the protracted "war" against Life itself that these power brokers are now pursuing for their deadly goals –
The falsification of numbers is their stealth formula for the imposition of Fascist Control over once free humans who are now being transformed back into servitude and abject slavery - don't BELIEVE the NUMBERS they have been rigged by false modelling and false tests and false death figures
Your comment ….?
For example, in America we have 317 million in our population. So if there are hundreds of thousands of infections, which may account for "errors" and distortions, then what about the numbers NOT infected by comparison?
WHY there is NO testing available initially, and how can people trust projected numbers, living and cowering in fear based thereon?
It just begs all credulity. There are so many more why's to ask....but people don't want to ask. In fact, as said by Milton Estes during the rise of the Nazi era, "who wants to think?"
Sometimes thinking may be too painful, as is reality itself. People don't want to face it. Therein lies the problem, and that is exactly what the profiteers are quite literally banking on. Further, they know it. The entire architectural plan is drafted based on that collective denial, as (it would seem, may have been or has clearly been) advised by psychologists or other profoundly unethical experts. Sick.
How crazy that people prefer a fear ruse over the truth which breaks through with the light of hope. That is now seen as "unethical". Those who buy into the lies really believe them, solidly, refusing to budge. Let's hope with time, this breaks. We must pray. And I am grateful for more and more truth coming out, from mainstream sources such as 60 minutes The only way to break through will be when people suffer enough that they no longer buy into the lies.
How long will this go on?
Denial can take people to their graves. It's very serious. I think the underlying thought is: "I want to be safe". We need to talk to that fear in satisfactory ways.
The zillion antibody test kits are highly suspect, as the FDA allowed these to flood into the country, solely on the word of their manufacturers that their kits were 95% accurate (or some accuracy rate close to this.
Surprised?
It turns out quite a few are inaccurate to a large degree.
Don’t forget to deep clean your home as well.

4 年Common colds caused by the beta coronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 appear to make you more resistant to SARS-CoV-2 infection If you've beat a common cold caused by a OC43 or HKU1 beta coronavirus in the past, you may have a 50/50 chance of having defensive T-cells that can recognize and help defend against SARS-CoV-2. As reported by the Daily Mail Scientists have found evidence that some immunity may be present for many years due to the body's 'memory' T-cells from attacks by Previous viruses with a similar genetic make-up — even among people who have had no known exposure to Covid-19 or SARS … Blood was taken from 24 patients who had recovered from COVID-19, 23 who had become ill from SARS and 18 who had never been exposed to either SARS or COVID-19 … Half of patients in the group with no exposure to either Covid-19 or SARS possessed T-cells which showed immune response to the animal beta coronaviruses, COVID-19 and SARS. This suggested patients' immunity developed after exposure to common colds caused by beta coronavirus or possibly from other as yet unknown pathogens. According to the researchers, their findings demonstrate that:5 Virus-specific memory T-cells induced by beta coronavirus infection are long-lasting, which supports the notion that COVID-19 patients would develop long-term T-cell immunity. Our findings also raise the intriguing possibility that infection with related viruses can also protect from or modify the pathology caused by SARS-Cov-2. Added support for these conclusions were published May 14, 2020, in the journal Cell. This study16 found that not only did 70% of samples obtained from recovered COVID-19 patients have resistance to SARS-CoV-2 on the T-cell level but so did 40% to 60% of people who had not been exposed to the virus. According to the authors, this suggests there's "cross-reactive T?cell recognition between circulating 'common cold' coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2 The immunity issue isn't entirely cut and dry, though. Other research, which looked at antibody levels in recovered COVID-19 patients in Germany, found they lost their antibodies after two to three months.
