I give a big "YES" to the conclusion of this study: "The point of testing should be to identify infectious individuals, and the current testing procedures fail in that public health goal. The FDA should update their guidance to recommend no more than 34 c

@shay_fleishon המחקר ההשוואתי שדיברתי עליו בקשר לאינפקטיביות עבר ביקורת עמיתים תקרא אם יש לך זמן, או את השרשור שלי שעשיתי על הפרהפרינט השני (או השלישי, לא זוכר) של זה אם בא לך.
"Complete live viruses are necessary for transmission, not the fragments identified by PCR."
Every single day you further confirm how little you understand molecular and microbiology.
That is great work and also confirms your previous statements about the cycle threshold for PCR tests being too high.
