Yesterday I saw a great analogy of how the PCR test works:
take a dollar and double it until you get to 1 million dollars- it will take 20 cycles of doubling
now take a penny and do the same thing double it until you get to a million dollars it takes 27 cycles
a live coronavirus will show at about twenty cycles a dead coronavirus fragment will show at about 25-27 cycles
all PCR testing has been done at an average of 40-45 cycles which will show extremely small fragments that could also be fragments of other viruses, no proof of infection but yet a positive at 45 cycles means your are a coronavirus case which is meaningless. PCR tests are not diagnostic tools but are very imprecise statistical tools when run at low cycles, absolute garbage at high cycles as have been mandated by those who know these facts
