Elon Musk Has "Moderate" COVID-19; Erykah Badu Was Positive In One Nostril, But Not The Other...

For his part, Mr. Musk also first received conflicting results (and made some rather inane, and immature comments about it all). Here is the story on Ms. Badu. It points up the need for a gold-standard so-called polymerase chain reaction test being conducted, if the symptoms are mild / non-existent, before taking the more drastic, and side-effect laden, therapies. So we mention these two cases -- as object lessons.

I will also note that the occupant of 1600 Penn has tweeted that Mr. Biden won the election. Progress of a sort, but the tweet goes on to rant about a "rigged" election process.

Whatever, moron. Here's the headline story, from the Beeb:

. . .Mr. Musk, who has 40 million followers on Twitter, said about his symptoms that he was "a little up & down. Feels just like a regular cold, but more body achy & cloudy head than coughing/sneezing".

On Friday, he had questioned the veracity of rapid antigen testing, tweeting: "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."

He said he was awaiting the results of PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests, which are regarded as the gold standard by epidemiologists and the one used most around the world. . . .

It is time to smile more. . . and fret. . . less (ref. Hamilton), methinks. Onward, grinning. . . .
