I understand that nobody is being put on oxygen if they’re asymptomatic, but the number of asymptomatic cases is not what’s being reported everywhere. My understanding is that PCR amplifies viral RNA with a lower cycle count indicating a higher concentration. My understanding is also that there is a point at which PCR test results with binary values (true|false) can cause a hyperbolic response in individuals and organizations. My family members who have been tested have not been told how many cycles their sample went through but my understanding is that 30 - 40 is the standard for these tests. Hence, over-cycling is a concern for me.
