I just want to point out that Bette Korber is a very accomplished and very careful researcher, with decades of RNA virus research experience. I know her from her HIV work. This can serve as an element in shaping your priors.

Right,Ct values can not be compared directly across different tests. This is why we always use a standard curve to calculate copy numbers in our lab.
