Beyene et al.: Saliva has higher yield in detecting SARS-CoV2, and COVID-19 patients show higher viral load and prolonged period of viral shedding in saliva.
Therefore, we recommend saliva as a better alternative sample to NPS to diagnose COVID-19 patients.

Saliva is superior over nasopharyngeal swab for detecting SARS-CoV2 in COVID-19 patients
“Scaling up of diagnostic capacity is needed to mitigate the global pandemic of SARS-CoV2. However, there are challenges including shortage of sample collection swabs and transport medium. Saliva has been recommended as a simple, low-cost, non-invasive option. However, data from different populations and settings are limited. Here, we showed that saliva could be a good alternative sample to diagnose COVID-19 patients. Pair of NPS-saliva samples was collected from 152 symptomatic; confirmed COVID-19 patients, and compared their positivity rate, viral load, and duration of viral shedding. From 152 patients, 80 (52.63%) tested positive and 72 (47.37%) were negative for SARSA-CoV2 in NPS sample. In saliva, 129 (92.14%) were tested positive and 11 (7.86%) were negative on the day of admission to hospital. The overall percent agreement of RT-PCR result of Saliva to NPS was 70% (196/280). A comparison of viral load from 72 NPS-saliva pair samples on day of admission shows saliva contains significantly higher viral load (P < 0.001).
I’ve seen concerning videos in the past about the swabs. Nanotechnology and/or grapheme oxide in the swabs. All seemed a little too crazy to consider. We’ve learned anything is possible now. I’ve avoided testing because of it. I wondered why swabs weren’t oral, it’s less invasive, certainly easier for kiddos. This just brings more questions.
This crap has been unleashed on the world. The vaccine kills, some quickly others will be a slow process, heart disease, cancer’s and painful autoimmune conditions that may leave victims damaged for years.
Lord help us.
Collecting saliva is something which can be done where all one needs to do is spit in a vessel of some sort.
As long as the pcr is <22ct and is conducted by qualified lab technicians in a truly sterile environment.
Given past history I doubt they can get the above conditions in place and will go for the false positive scamdemic route. John 8:44
