Big Damn Hero

I read an interesting article on Zero Hedge about COVID PCR testing, specifically in regards to the cycle threshold (Ct), or the number of times the test sample is amplified. The article closes with the following:

“Perhaps most deceptive, the Ct is a simple lever to pull to keep you in line and make Joe Biden look like a hero. His new COVID panel will develop and implement a plan. Then positive cases will magically drop. Not because these policies were effective but simply because they will dial down the Ct with clear guidelines.

Big Damn Hero.

    If a test was amplified over35 x it's meaning very unclear . Very high reliability if neg on over cycled test if pos very low predictive value.

    Should mention, Trump said: more tests just gives more cases.
    When was that, a month ago?
    There were howls of derision. It is correct.

    I was trying to explain this to someone and used the following poor analogy:
    Using a small snippet of a word to find that word, you’ll get a lot of hits. So, if you search the page with this article for “Armageddon” using a search with only “ar”, you’ll get 52 hits. Oh god, we’re all gonna die!
