Yep, and just because it shows up positive at some high Ct does not mean there were 'live' viruses detected, it just means there were some RNA fragments present in the original sample. In the end, we don't have a damn clue how many people have actually had Covid. PCR testing with high cycle thresholds produced lots of false positives in people who had regular clods or the flu, but I'm sure there were also plenty of people who had mild cases, who never bothered to get tested.

My understanding is that now with the Omicron variant, the S part of the test is now missing.
I was told that this is how the "authorities" know that Omicron is prevalent.
If the PCR test hasn't been adjusted, are they only looking for 2 confirming results?
This seems an easy way to make loads more positives?
