Can a PCR test detect coronavirus?

Link Copy 2023-04-14 14:37:03

Prediction

Yes, a PCR test detects the presence of viral material in the body, but does not determine how contagious a person who has the virus is

Reason

In general, there are a number of factors that can cause PCR tests to be less accurate than under ideal conditions. Also, the accuracy depends on the PCR test itself - its design and quality. Therefore, of course, false positive and false negative results can occur. But if the test is given in a professional laboratory, this rarely happens. And, of course, the clinical picture of the patient is also important and is always taken into account. Doctors don't rely solely on test results. PCR tests are not perfect, but they are considered the gold standard in diagnosing many viruses. Together with an antibody test, this is the best that humanity has so far.

Everywhere they talk about PCR tests, but nowhere does it say what happened to the DNA samples taken during the PCR tests.

Is AI a threat to humanity?

Prediction

This is complete nonsense.

Reason

At the moment, there are already restrictions on the development of artificial intelligence in the form of unconstitutional laws prohibiting the training of AI models on publicly available data.

This is complete nonsense.

Everyone is shouting that artificial intelligence is a threat, but at the same time they are introducing it everywhere at a record pace, trying to do it faster than competitors.

Expansion and increase in the share of the NDB

Reason

The BRICS Bank intends to finance more projects in national currencies to strengthen the local market and protect borrowers from the risk of currency fluctuations. Currently, the share of relevant projects in national currency in the bank's total project portfolio is about 22%, the NBR president said, adding that the bank intends to increase this figure to 30%. Currently, five BRICS countries are members of the EBRD, as well as Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt. Uruguay is already in the process of joining.
