The COVID-19 virus continues to plague planet Earth, there are more than 52 million confirmed cases and at least 1.2 million deaths that has left this virus that to date, is misunderstood (not entirely) by science.
There are hundreds of vaccines in development by pharmaceutical companies, which are marching at a rapid pace and almost ten months after being declared a Pandemic, there is no effective remedy against COVID-19 to date.
How did Elon Musk test negative and positive for COVID-19?
One of the main critics of the disease is the billionaire Elon Musk, who revealed that he underwent at least four COVID-19 tests and the results were more than confusing.
In a couple of them, Elon Musk tested negative, but two tested positive and one pair negative. It is incredible, since the test was done by the same institution, the same nurse and the same laboratory, something that has never been seen before.
“Something very false happened today. They did four covid tests. Two were negative, two positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse ”, he explained on Twitter.
Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD.

Why did Elon Musk test positive and negative for COVID-19?
It should be noted that the tests that Elon Musk underwent are for antigens and not the RT-PCRT, which are more precise and with a greater degree of effectiveness against external factors.
Musk explained on his Twitter account that he began to have some common symptoms of a cold, cough, slight mucus, little fever, so he decided to take the tests and these were the results.
What is the general population (no knowledge of symptoms) accuracy of a sars-cov2 PCR test & is it possible to generate a false positive if you simply run enough cycles?

Given these confusing results, Musk decided that other tests will be done but now they will be RT-PCRT, which he hopes will be more precise and it will be determined if he contracted COVID-19 in the last dates.
Elon Musk doesn’t believe in COVID-19
Elon Musk has said that the virus does not pose a great threat to humanity, something that the data does not show entirely true.
Further, He has said that he, his wife Grimes and their newborn son are strong against the virus, therefore, they will not need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 even if there is an effective remedy developed.
