I'm pretty sure it would be child's play to produce a fake test result or alter a positive one on a computer.

Health Science 101 Guidelines
Greetings! Welcome to Health Science.
Here's where we talk about the latest fad diets, the advantages of vegetarianism, the joy of exercise and good health. Like everywhere else at Tweb our decorum rules apply.
This is a place to exchange ideas and network with other health conscience folks, this isn't a forum for heated debate.

New global black market for bogus negative covid tests

So far it seems the cases they reported catching were of not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer. I mean, actually selling them at an international airport? Continental Europe's busiest.
And again, according to USA Today the suspects in the South American case presented test results that were not conducted within the past 24 hours as required, and when they were rejected, refused to take a test and instead simply produced test results with a date that met the criteria. As the article said, that "raised red flags."

More stories of people faking negative tests
This is the sort of thing that could lead to ID cards with chips much like credit cards to confirm test results or even vaccination.

It would have been quite easy for me to test negative at my last test. They hand you the baggie of supplies, and they stand about 12 feet from you outside.
You take the swab out of it's sleeve, cough three times, then swab your own mouth for 20 seconds. The swab stick is about 3 times longer than the vial you will put it in, so you break off the excess part of the swab and throw it away.
If you pretended to swab with the "non business end" of the swab stick, then put the 'clean' swab in the tube filled with liquid, you'd come up with a clean test.
They're not really even watching, but since you're doing this all by yourself, it would be very easy to cheat.
(And, no, I didn't cheat - I'm just suspicious of drug tests because somebody can always figure out a way to defeat them)The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

And the last I heard, depending on weight and age, up to a month.

So if tests can detect the presence up to 30 days or even 90 days later, it wouldn't for between 730 to 1095 days (or 1096 if a leap year was involved) -- hence, a false positive.

And it continues as a lack of proof of vaccination is being increasingly used to prohibit access and movement. Go figure.
When I got my shots they told me to take a picture of the card with my cellphone (not an option for me) rather than carry it around. Obviously a picture of a document is far, far easier to pass off than the document itself.
