The PCR test amplifies genetic matter in cycles.... The problem is that the vast majority of PCR tests have a threshold of 40 cycles.. — akin to finding a hair in a room long after a person has left.. ~Dr. Michael Mina, an epidemiologist from Harvard..

Juliet Morrison, a virologist at the University of California is incredulous that this high a threshold has been established for the PCR test:

“I’m shocked that people would think that 40 could represent a positive.”

Translation: If it requires 40 cycles to return a positive PCR test, it is a false positive and the patient tested is, in point of fact, negative.

Translation: If it requires 40 cycles to return a positive PCR test, it is a false positive and the patient tested is, in point of fact, negative.

A PCR test basically takes bits of DNA, strips it in half, then adds a copy of the half back to both original pieces. So each cycle almost doubles the material that's currently there. If you run 40 cycles, that's two to the power of 40. 2^40

1,099,511,627,776x as much as the original amount. A trillion times as much.

If you happen to have trace amounts of the virus in your nasal cavity, that did its job and blocked the virus from getting in and infecting you, that swab just grabbed it and now you're a "positive" case.

The ChinaVirus is a coronavirus, just like four strains of other coronaviri that are one of several causes of the common cold. Obviously, being in the same group of viri, they'll share a good portion of their DNA makeup. So if you've had a cold recently, you may still have some viral fragments from that in your system, which could be enough DNA for the PCR to pop hot on (for the ChinaVirus).
