The latest coronavirus antibody test is a lot more accurate (100% accurate at detecting antibodies)

16. You see that word "is"?

There is no agreement that human space flight is possible.

There is no agreement on what causes influenza.

There is no agreement that washing hands can reduce infection.

There is no agreement that gravity follows the same rules in Europe as in the New World.

All those statements are false. All those statements are true if I add a timestamp to them. The difference is when the word "is" points to. If to the present, they're utterly false. If the first is dated 1920, the second 1885, the third is 1850, and the fourth is 1600, then they're utterly true.

Last week there was no knowledge that antibodies confer immunity. Now there is.

Last week there was no knowledge that remdesivir had any benefit. Now there is--limited benefit, but it's something.

Still no word on vaccine. Or a good treatment. But all knowledge comes with a timestamp.
