But is very hard that the first comes as a positive and the second negative.. usually is the other way around... I think?

The first test is simpler and faster, so it can let pass an infection undetected. So it is know to be a preliminary test.

The second test is when they analyse the sample thoroughly.

So if in a preliminary test they already detected the virus, it's unusual for the second one not to.

At least this is how I thought it worked.

no, usually the other way around for diagnostic tests. Prelim tests should have high sensitivity meaning we accept a higher false positive rate to ensure we're not missing the disease(i.e. rule it out) .The confirmatory test has high specificity for a particular disease of interest, looking for a higher true negative rate to essentially rule in the disease.

what if the first test is actually days old, he got infected a while ago and had mild symptoms and the new test is legitimately clean?

My post was a joke you dumb fuck. I can't believe the quality of people around the world have elected to govern them.
Umm...wasn't calling Kifimbo or any other member anything. I called Bolsonaro a dumb fuck. If I deserve a warning for that I will gladly accept it. I would like to apologize to everyone and mods that my post wasn't clear about this fact. I will try to be more careful and unambiguous about my posts in the future.

lol, i had to double-take on your first post. Yea, you were speaking to Bolsonaro, as if he took your joke to heart. But I can see how a mod would see that and misinterpret it.

I... still don't get how that could be? "My post was a joke" then you immediately go into "you dumb fuck"? How can that be construed as being towards Bolsonaro?

Anyway, business as usual in Brazilian politics and daily goings-ons...I still can't believe my country elected this dude =(

I got what you meant, but now I can see how it could be taken the other way.

So how does a person calling it a hoax get to admit it's real and get tested for it?

Is he being clowned in Brazil or does he have a cult like Trump that dont care?

there is a cult , maybe worse than the Trump one, a lot of people here can see how ridiculous this is, as for his base they don't care.

The entire line is aimed at Bolsonaro. Kifimbo posted news that Bolsonaro is getting a third test. And jayu26 went 'My post was a joke you dumb fuck' to Bolsonaro. Why would they call Kifimbo a dumb fuck? Makes no sense.

So there is a "protest" in favor of bolsonaro (actually it is about closing the senate and people supporting a military dictatorship...) which Bolsonaro absolutely didn't called (he totally did) and he asked for his fans to postpone (they totally didn't) and ...

Well, lots of interesting stuff happened, like sound cars saying coronavirus is a hoax from china but the most on topic thing is that Bolsonaro did a live during the protests and ...

Here is bolsonaro supporting the crowd and going to touch lots of people .... while waiting for the results of the 3rd test

Just like Trump the other day shaking random people's hands. Incredibly stupid human beings.
