My understanding is that the PCR test "amplifies" the viral material in order to detect it. In some cases, this amplification can be as high as 40x. So the question remains, was a "positive" test that required a 40x multiplier really a patient who had an active infection that was capable of infecting others? That is not known.

My MD suspects that early use of my covid tool box and other meds, pushed limits down below detect ability of standard tests. I will be getting tested for Covid IgG antibodies to confirm.

A guy I work with is quarantined because of exposure to his son-in-law who tested positive.

Son-in-law is one of 7 on a work crew that tested positive. #8 guy tested negative. #8 guy also rides in the same vehicle for 4 hours a day with the son-in-law.

Perhaps worth to add that he had said that he had the 4 tests on the same day by the same lab and operators. Presumably they had the same number of cycles as well?
