@AmbroggioPhD Agreed. Not a diagnostics expert but I know the following 1) This discussion is not new and has been ongoing among diagnostics folks, now coming to public view. 2) CT values can matter but converting it to a viral load equivalent is an oversimplification 1/n
@AmbroggioPhD 3) Each machine behaves differently and therefore the amplification being talked about is also going to vary. We are not aware of any standard curve quantifying viral load against CT values 2/n
@AmbroggioPhD 4) Generally speaking, lower CT means more virus but higher CT isn’t necessarily the opposite- it can have different connotations depending on whether it’s an initial test, or a repeat after 7 days, importantly days this symptom onset. 3/n
