  One thing you can be certain of with COVID-19 is that there is no shortage of controversy. Whether it is lockdowns, treatment, vaccines, or testing there have been volumes written about what should or should not happen. So today, we're going to learn about the most common test in the middle of the controversy - the PCR. What is PCR? "PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a very sensitive test that can detect down to one molecule of DNA or RNA," said founder and CSO of Medicinal Genomics, Kevin McKernan. I contacted Kevin to help us get to the bottom of what PCR is, its limitations, how to interpret results, and what is the best path forward to use the test in the midst of a pandemic. PCR is an inexpensive, quick, and very sensitive test that amplifies the target proteins in the sample. By running multiple cycles, the target is doubled each time until it is detectable. Once a sample turns "positive," the test runs a few more cycles to verify the positive result. Usually, the PCR for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19) returns to patients as either positive or negative. Why Does Cycle Time Matter? The number of times a sample has to be cycled through the doubling process is a way of determining not only the presence of a particular protein, but also its prevalence. Low cycle times suggest that there is a lot of the target while high cycle times suggest that there is not nearly as much. Since we are doing doubling you can imagine that for every 3.16 cycle times you have 10 times as much target substance. For today's SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests patients and clinicians are only given a qualitative answer of positive or negative. But, it is almost certainly true that the cycle time is important for understanding how infectious an individual is. The human body will shed inactive virus particles for sometimes months after an infection which can be detected by the PCR. This means that one could have a positive result even though it has been months since you could transmit the virus to others. As you can imagine, cycle times offer a window into how likely you are infectious (have enough targets suggesting an active infection) and perhaps we should insist the lab provide a qualitative and quantitative result for us. What are Other Concerns  About the PCR test? One of Kevin's concerns is that we are centralizing the testing of PCR by only having it occur in a few locations. This groups both symptomatic and asymptomatic people together causing a potential hot spot for transmitting the virus. Additionally, by centralizing and not allowing home testing, the costs for the PCR test are driven up. Finally, part of the quality control for PCR tests is to determine if the host DNA is acquired in the sample (this shows that the test was done properly) and there is not usually any way of knowing whether the DNA is being stored (something I talked to Twila Brase about before with regards to HIPAA). Kevin McKernan is the Chief Scientific Officer and Founder of Medicinal Genomics. He has years of expertise in PCR testing and provides insight into the PCR testing issues surrounding SARS-CoV-2. show notes Episode 116: Today's show Medicinal Genomics:  This is Kevin's company that he founded and serves as the CSO.

The 15-year-old Maddie is devoted to her three best friends and they are to her. So, when Brynn gets pregnant, the friends all plan to have children, raising them together and living a dream.

Now a zillion adults share their obsession alongside kids who are too young to remember the original anime game from the ‘90s. People have been busted trampling through cemeteries chasing the colorful pocket monsters. The Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. had to declare itself a Pokémon-free zone.The mobile game just outpaced Tinder and Twitter as the most-downloaded app since July 6, 2016, its first day of availability in the United States.Guess who's not playing Pokémon Go: cyber security experts.In order to play, the app needs to know your location through your device's GPS and access the camera."Pokémon Go is a huge security risk," warns Monty Henry, owner of DPL-Surveillance-Equipment.com LLC physical and cybersecurity expert.PRO-DTECH II FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Here's a screenshot of the permissions screen that appears upon downloading Pokémon Go on an Android device, as posted by Twitter user @oscaron: Only iPhone users were informed they had to grant the app "full account access" on Google. The only other way to sign up is through the game's website at pokemongo.com, which has been overwhelmed with users and is currently limiting the number of new users that can sign up at once.CELLPHONE DETECTOR (PROFESSIONAL)(Buy/Rent/Layaway)What Does "Full Account Access" Mean?Reeve, who was among the first experts to sound this warning, claimed on his blog that downloading Pokémon Go would enable it to "read all your email, send email as you, access all your Google Drive documents (including deleting them), access any private photos you may store in Google Photos, and a whole lot more."PRO-DTECH III FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)"I really wish I could play, it looks like great fun, but there's no way it's worth the risk," Reeve wrote.PRO-DTECH III FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Niantic, which developed the game for Nintendo's Pokémon  brand, issued a statement July 11 that they had "recently discovered that the Pokémon GO account creation process on iOS erroneously requests full access permission for the user's Google account." They assured that though the mistake allowed them the ability to dive deep into personal data, the app only accesses a user's ID and email address.PRO-DTECH III FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)"No other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected," the statement read. Niantic said that they were working with Google to fix the permissions issue.iOS users now see this screen that includes the update, "Fixed Google account scope." WIRELESS/WIRED HIDDENCAMERA FINDER III(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Does That Fix The Security Concerns?We consulted David Kennedy, a a cyber security expert and founder of Ohio-based Binary Defense Systems (his official title: Chief Hacking Officer).PRO-DTECH IV FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)His company monitors his clients' systems and tries to break in to reveal where their security is weak. (Niantic is not a client.)We asked whether the fix by the app's developer means that Pokémon Go "trainers" (players, in the game's parlance) are in the clear.Wireless Camera Finder(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Kennedy said that the updated app will restrict what information it collects to the minimum required for it to function, which still includes location data, email address and camera access.Be sure, though, that other outside forces will be looking to exploit any cracks in Pokémon 's armor, Kennedy said, because mobile applications are prone to attack.MAGNETIC, ELECTRIC, RADIO ANDMICROWAVE DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)"Let's say I hacked into that application; I would now have access to everyone who installed it, their gmail accounts and everything else," he said. "So it's a big security and privacy issue from that perspective."Even with the promised tweaks, Kennedy won't download it.COUNTERSURVEILLANCE PROBE / MONITOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Other ConcernsThere are other unsettling features of Pokémon Go that, while not unique to the game, might make privacy lovers think twice.Niantic's privacy policy is a 20-page document that no kid in reality, virtual or otherwise, is likely to read. Within the policy, Niantic describes how it may share user's information with third parties who "may not have agreed to abide by the terms of this Privacy Policy."Those third parties could be unspecified  "private parties," according to the terms of service.They might sell or transfer personally identifiable information about users in the event of a "merger, sale of assets, acquisition, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy, change of control or other similar event."Kennedy says the third-party issue raises concerns. "With Google, it's a well-established service. Facebook is a well-established service, with terms and conditions you can read. These third-party applications could be selling your name, your address, your phone number, your contact list, what you're browsing — directly tied to your name."PRO-DTECH FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)A Word On Conspiracy TheoriesThen there's the matter of the app's developer's origins, which are a conspiracy theorist's all-you-can-eat buffet.Niantic's founder, John Hanke, created the startup that became Google Maps and Google Earth. Now he's cast as the man behind the curtain, using unwitting gamers to spy on each other for the CIA -- or so the nether regions of the ‘net would have you believe.Here's what Hanke said that set off musings about Pokémon Go being part of a more sinister plot (he was describing how Pokémon Go and it's predecessor, Ingress, work): "By exploiting the capabilities of smartphones and location technology and through building a unique massively scalable server and global location dataset, we have helped users all around the world have fun, socialize, and get more fit as they play and explore."As if the words "global location dataset" and "massively scalable server" didn't sound ominous enough, there's Hanke's prior business dealings. Hanke's mapping startup, called Keyhole, was funded by In-Q-Tel, a techie incubator which "identifies, adapts, and delivers innovative technology solutions to support the missions of the Central Intelligence Agency and broader U.S. Intelligence Community," according to its website.  Such realizations spawned this Gawker headline "Pokémon Go is a Government Surveillance Psyop Conspiracy." A Reddit thread titled "Pokémon GO could be a photo-based intelligence gathering operation," emerged the day after Pokémon Go was released.All of that aside, Kathleen Stansberry, a Cleveland State University assistant professor with expertise in social media and strategic communications, told PolitiFact Ohio that it's easy to see the utilities the technology could provide to police."Google has a history of cooperating with law enforcement," Stansberry said, "and I would imagine Pokémon Go would as well." Another section of the app's privacy policy says it may "disclose any information about you (or your authorized child) that is in our possession or control to government or law enforcement officials or private parties."Despite the risks these issues raise, Stansberry plays Pokémon Go with her son."By closing that particular loophole (for Google account access), Pokémon Go will be much more on par with other location-based apps," Kennedy said. "I think this is something we're going to see increasingly, as virtual reality and augmented reality apps become more popular, and I think these privacy issues are going to become of greater concern."Privacy is a fallacy, she said."There's a big gap between what we believe is private, and what information is really out there about us," Stansberry said. "Did you use your debit card at Target? They're tracking your purchases so they know how to better target you for ads.  CVS does the same thing. Let's say every month you buy a pregnancy test and then, suddenly you stop buying pregnancy tests. Now you get a coupon for diapers."RF SIGNAL DETECTOR ( FREQUENCY COUNTER)(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Your questions and comments are greatly appreciated.Monty Henry, Owner (function () { var articleId = fyre.conv.load.makeArticleId(null); fyre.conv.load({}, [{ el: 'livefyre-comments', network: "livefyre.com", siteId: "345939", articleId: articleId, signed: false, collectionMeta: { articleId: articleId, url: fyre.conv.load.makeCollectionUrl(), } }], function() {}); }()); Additional Resources: * Prevention and Detection of Electronic Harassment and Surveillance* Electrical Hyper-Sensitivity: The-Truth!!* How Do I Know If I've Been Bugged? * Targeted Individuals* Operating The Brain By Remote Control* What is BitCoin and How Does It Work?* The Creature From Jekyll Island: This Blog And Video Playlist Explains Why The U.S. Financial System is Corrupt and How It Came To Be That Way* Number of Americans Renouncing Citizenship Surges To Escape Oppressive Tax Rules* Dropping Off The Grid: A Growing Movement In America: Part I
