The odd thing about this claim is its inherent reliance on personal experience bias. Not that the bias is unusual, but doesn't it seem dangerous as an atheist to stake an absolute claim which can be disproven simply by the existence of a single person who understands the scientific method and also believes x, where x is anything the scientific method cannot disprove? After all, the scientific method doesn't provide for a testable hypothesis to disprove theism, so mutual exclusivity and non-existence are theological arguments, not scientific ones. And since generally the argument goes that the search has been sufficient, how does it look when the same logic is disproven in a simple survey of humans?
It's obviously your topic, I'm just saying it's got even less chance of fixing anything related to this thread than all the political aspects, which can at least become relevant in a few months or so.

It's not supposed to fix anything, but it might explain how hippies, antivaxxers and the right wing can converge to common positions on the handling of COVID-19. They are believers.
The use of "believe" is completely at odds with the nature of the scientific process.
All science has are theories and the claim that theories are enough, even though they require enough skepticism and admission of fallibility to be able to replace a given paradigm with a different polemic. To not know.
Another way to look at it is that we all have some amount of theist or believer and nontheist, data driven scientic in us. They are just completely different philosophies of thought and it's OK for them to coexist. If an induhvidual relies on one or the other, that's fine, but it always leads to one form of a paradox or another when they mix.
When people bind themselves to a scientific theory or it's exclusion, and for them it is immutable, they have receded to Theism.

Tell me mister smarty pants, who is this "they" you refer to? It smacks of those who fantasize of a vast conspiracy the Illuminati or some such. Oh, and the Lord I believe in isn't limited to the sky or any other small subset your silly bias can focus on as a pejorative, for the sake of ridiculing what you don't have the capacity to understand, and therefore choose to mock. I fully understand the rational empiricists' perspective, I also understand the superstitious prejudice of blind faith, but don't delude yourself to believe that this simplistic polarization encompasses all that is, or that your belief in either reveals the limit of more than your capacity to perceive.

I think having read a lot of sci-fi in my life, I am perhaps better prepared to roll with the punches on this one.... and it all started here

So what are the running theories about the sailors that are testing positive again?
Has anybody used the analogy of “eye of the storm,” yet? It kinda works.

Do the articles about these cases of positive then negative then positive again mention if the people are becoming sick again? Like a second round of symptoms? Or are they being retested because they are on a navy boat and it’s just protocol.

Trump team is really pushing this Obama "gate" nonsense hard. They pushed the agenda out to all their sources. They didn't forget that this is an election year and Covid19 isn't the distraction they want because they can't control the narrative.

Well, they're pushing the Obamagate thing because Obama stated to campaign for Biden with an anti Trump thing. So, there's the battlelines. Not policy, not the fact that both parties are raping your grandchildren's future by bailing out the incredibly already rich, again, like in 08, but, good cop bad cop, again.
Never forget that Pelosi is worth over a hundred million dollars , and the Obamas are about to enjoy their first summer in a 12 million dollar property on Martha's Vineyard. He may even be there now. Youtubing away, and tweeting. Probably. I'd be. Must be awesome in late May. The scent of salt water in the morning.
