Another question for the board

[Moemoney42]

Has anyone here had a covid test.. and if so.. what happens to the swab or sample that is collected.. is it discarded in the garbage..? Does the test/sample have your details IE: name and address assigned to it? Don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but is it possible that with each test performed, uncle sam now has your DNA profile..?

WOW! Never thought about that but your are bang on. They would have your profile. As for what I think, the swab gets put into a glass chamber with liquid in it and send into a lab somewhere. They can then put the sequencing of the geonotype into a database and track variants of the virus. Interesting sh!t.....Monkeys should be able to know who is subsepticle to this stuff in the future.

Here is an article that highlights the potential privacy issues related to the collection of DNA material as part of Covid 19 testing. The bottom line is that DNA material is collected. I have not been able to find out what provinces do with the DNA data there collect. This is a fundamental question that you can bet some people don't want answered. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.09085.pdf

In Canada I can confirm that if you have been tested for COVID-19, your results are fully identifiable, have been stored electronically in every jurisdiction and being communicated to the feds and various other groups. At the present time there are no plans to stop or ever delete the data. If you have tested positive in Canada, the result will stick with you for life. Sad considering +50% of

Even worse, now you need a negative PCR test to get back into Canada. So give up your DNA globally ol Chap. We won't do anything bad with it.....LOL Heck might as well have a globa DNA bank.
