China is trolling us with this and Nature should be embarrassed at having published it: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19802-w

It claims 10M people were tested in the last two weeks of June in Wuhan. That's over 700k tests a day. I do not believe that - do you?

It then claims that not a single COVID case was found i.e. COVID disease with symptoms capable of spread - weeks after all the drama. I do not believe that - do you?

The ultimate trolling is that what they are claiming to report is a 0.3% false positive rate (all their 'cases' were asymptomatic, no viral culture and no transmission). I do not even believe that. It is a total fabrication.

What's the point of peer review if it lets something like this into Nature? Scientists have to start looking more critically at the politics. The studies showing asymptomatic spread were almost all Chinese too with non-Chinese studies observing no spread. https://twitter.com/ClareCraigPath/status/1316652901339729925?s=20

I missed out some zeros. They are claiming a false positive rate of 0.003%. That is not possible. It is such a small number that I accidentally multiplied by 100 twice to get to something near believable!
