Covid positive and no school thanks to cooldrink

It has already been proven how unreliable the SARS-CoV-2 tests are. This applies to both the PCR tests and the antigen tests.

Tanzanian President John Magufuli, who mysteriously died last year, achieved worldwide fame when he had the effectiveness of the PCR tests checked. Among other things, Magufuli had samples taken from animals and fruit and tested while “disguised” as human samples. A papaya and a goat then gave positive results.

Later, the antigen tests were also “tested” by scientists and politicians in Italy and Austria by dripping various fruit juices and other drinks on them. The result: Some fruit juices, Coca-Cola and Red Bull could produce a positive test result.

Since a positive test result currently means quarantine in Germany, the unreliability of the tests is now being used by students to allow themselves a few days off from school. This is what happened in Berlin, as reported by the Berliner Morgenpost. There, students would inconspicuously dissolve one or two droplets of “Capri-Sun”, a cooldrink, into the quick test liquid and then dribble it onto the test cassette. The trick was filmed for TikTok and is considered an “open secret”.

This is possible because in Germany, due to a lack of capacity, a positive antigen test result no longer has to be confirmed by a PCR test. And as the RKI explained, a subsequent negative antigen test cannot overrule a positive one.
