So these guys look at 162.547 PCR tests done in Münster in 2020 (wks 10-49), finding that over half of positive tests have Ct values above 25, meaning these are post-infectious recovered people. Disease statistics are meaningless propaganda.https://www.journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-4453(21)00265-6/fulltext …

Here's the subset of positive tests for which we also have clinical data, plotted against Ct. Blue = symptomless; red = symptoms They're testing in the range of Ct= 33-36, i.e., precisely where you start to have as many symptomless non-infectious positives, as infectious onespic.twitter.com/OOkDeDTXlZ

Replying to @eugyppius1
Another thing that isn't mentioned in the paper, are the reactions done with replicates? We would always run every qPCR reaction in double or triplicate. If the SD was too high the result was rejected.

The volume is almost certainly too high to permit controls like this. They automate as much of the process as possible (picrelated, what they have in Münster) and minimise staff interactions, & still most of the labs seem to be at capacity limits all the time.pic.twitter.com/DoQpuKn5ab
