In a nutshell, pooled testing allows up to 10 tests to be pooled together. So if 9 healthy people are pooled with 1 truly positive test, all 10 tests will give a positive result.
Just another Deep State way to control spikes as needed for political control.
They get to decide, which areas of the country are spiking, whenever they want by using more or less pooled testing.

HERE IS THE WHY:

STRAIGHT FROM THE "INTRODUCTION" IN THE LANCET REPORT:
Scare the shit out of the Normies. Give the Schools and Businesses a 'cheaper' way to mass test their organizations. Spin a batch or two at a CT rate above 35, harvest some false positives. Report the 'Positive' batches to the COVID response fags (usually liberal nazies that sleep and screw with their masks on). The Orgs then 're-test' each individual in any 'infected pools' ... at the low low cost of $120 per PCR test. Make sure some of those are spun at the CT rate about 40 (Harvest a few false positives). Isolate those, mask up the entire organization, maybe blame COVID on the 350lb Art teacher that died last week.
Rinse .... Repeat ...
