The tests are very unreliable and depends on the person . Do not take it for granted if you test negative you are free.

Doctors are as always scientifically out of their depth to be precise as to how this athletic OIC suddenly died.

I am sure if tested again it would show he was Covid positive. We need answers to this mystery of OICs suddenly dying all in short space of time in Sri Lanka.

Yes he must have died of the criminal things he did against ordinary people.

Ratmalana Muslim lady first found to be positive and next test negative. Cannot this be the reverse of that?

How long does it take to generate test results for a PCR Test? Something fishy, no?
