@VicLeungIDdoc “the discrepancy disappeared over a 2-week period, which suggests that workers who are not trained in health care can be taught with experience to adequately perform swabs.”

@VicLeungIDdoc The claim that COVID testing can’t be done by regular people will go down with “masks aren’t needed or only protect others” and “transmissions isn’t airborne” as the most deadly ideas of this pandemic.
