Can corona virus test affect brain?
For the testing of corona virus, the swab stick which is being inserted inside the nose, is going to sample the ‘Blood Brain Barrier’.
The claim of the swab stick reaching the blood brain barrier proved to be completely false.
It is completely wrong to think that you can reach the ‘blood brain barrier’ by putting a swab stick (cotton swab) in your nose. This claim also shows little understanding of the blood brain barrier.
Mind is safe
Actually, there are many levels of security around the brain. First of all, the brain remains safe in the skull. After this, the brain remains imprisoned in fluids and membranes.
A blood brain barrier is present in the arteries of blood flowing around the brain. It is made up of cells with many layers. Its function is to prevent the molecules present in the blood from reaching the brain and to let go of other nutrients including oxygen.
In such a situation, if you want to reach the blood brain barrier by putting the swab stick inside the nose, then it will have to reach into the veins of blood, piercing into the bones of several layers and piercing into a bone. By then you will be able to reach the brain blood barrier.
Says Doctor Liz Colthard, associated with the British Neuroscience Association, “The swab cannot reach the blood-brain barrier unless the pressure is applied to the nose and multiple layers of bone break down. We have not seen any kind of problem with the Kovid swab during our neurology practice. “
Indeed, the ‘nasopharyngeal swab’ takes samples from the back wall of the nose for testing the corona virus. This is one of the many swab sample techniques.
In many countries including Britain, a swab sample of nose and throat is being taken regularly to check Kovid-19.
Tom Wingfield, who is associated with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, says, “I have swab samples of many patients while working in the hospital and I also take my swab sample for a trial every week.” It is a bit strange to get so much inside anything in the nose. There may be a little itching or tickling while taking swob samples but there should be no pain. “
These false claims started on July 6 from some American Facebook accounts. It is also mentioned in some claims that many calls related to refusal of testing are also coming.
Some of these claims have been falsified by the fact-checking entities.
It was also seen that the same graphic is being shared on the accounts of Romanian, French, Dutch and Portuguese Facebook users.
Corona virus does not spread through testing kit
Some reports of bad testing kits were also tried by falsely stating that there is a risk of getting infected with the corona virus by getting them tested.
Tests in the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s lab in the early stages of the epidemic were not performed correctly due to incorrect methods adopted during the test.
But this does not mean that the people who do these tests can get infected.
On Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s fanpage, a news was shared on Facebook with the caption – “You want Kovid-19, you will get it!” This post has been shared more than 3,000 times.
An investigation has revealed that the CDC testing program was delayed due to kit malfunctions and lab regulations. It was not written in the report that the virus spread due to bad kit.
The news was based on ‘pay wall’, that is, we have to pay to read it. It is clear that the people who saw this post may not have read the whole news and must have misinterpreted the headline.
Fact checkers in the United States and India have also rejected the claim that the coronavirus tests are being carried out under an intrigue of the Gates Foundation and microchips are being put into patients’ bodies on the pretext of the test.
There is no evidence that can substantiate this claim.
Why can’t you just breathe on the swob?
A meme is being shared on social media, in which it is written – If Kovid is really spreading out of breath, then why is it not enough to just exhale on the swab? Why do you need to put the swab right inside your nose? This post engaged more than 7,000 people on Facebook and Instagram.
Corona virus is spread by coughing or sneezing of an infected person. The virus spreads into the air with microscopic particles coming out of the mouth. But this does not mean that by simply exhaling on the swab, you will get enough materials for testing in the lab.
Talked to England’s Department of Public Health. He said that the results are better than samples taken from inside the nose or throat.
If you take a light breath in the swab, then it is possible that viral particles or viruses are not caught. If the swab is inserted inside the nose or throat, the results will be better.
Bangladesh virus free certificate
We also examined that certificate of Bangladesh, which was giving evidence that a person was not infected.
Many people were arrested on charges of issuing forged documents. These documents were telling negative to those who have never been tested.
These documents also have importance because the migrant workers are asked to show the certificate of getting virus-free. The homes of many families in Bangladesh are run by the income of the people working outside the country.
Recently, the owner of a hospital was caught after a nine-day investigation near the Indian border. It is alleged that he made fake report of many people. The man was walking around disguised as a woman.
Criminal gangs are also placing advertisements on the Internet in search of prospective customers.
Surprisingly, many fake positive certificates are also being sold in Bangladesh, especially for government officials so that they can take leave from their offices.
