It's all bullshit. The Greek alphabet will run out of letters before the government is finished lying about variants about to harm you unvaccinated super spreaders harming the vaccinated super spreaders.

The respiratory panel (on the BioFire) that run like 22 viruses doesn't report Cts. But it does detect both S and M proteins on the virus (Covid). The Abbot Rapid can be set to whatever but I think it's <30.
Everyone gets ran the same regardless in the lab. I cannot say what is being done in our ER because we are not in charge of the Rapid test.
Iv seen both vaccinated and unvaccinated get tested even if they are sent home from the ER. Iv seen both vax and unvax tested even if hospitalized. Symptoms are key.
I'm not arguing that PCR Covid testing is the best ever. But in the past with other respiratory illnesses they have been pretty accurate. Especially for RSV in kids.
I think the whole controversy stims from the fact that PCR cannot confirm that a person is infectious but it can reasonably detect the presence of either past or current virus. In other words you cannot use it as simply a confirmation of current infection/transmissibility ....you have to have symptoms to really nail that down or not.
