I have family in Italy. We were recently comparing our COVID test results.
My cousin had a 20 PCR Threshold. It was clearly indicated on his test.
Our test had nothing on it. So, I called the lab. The PCR was 35.
For anyone “applauding” Europe’s low numbers: their tests aren’t as sensitive. This is a good thing - because our tests are too sensitive and pick up live/dying/dead viruses that result in “positives.”
