I believe Adam Curry on NoAgenda has been discussing how if you ramp up the PCR test cycles to 60, everything returns positive. I think this is what Elon is getting at.
- chokolad 6y agoHe talks about instant antigen tests, not PCR. He is waiting for results of PCR test right now.
- feralimal 6y agoFair point, but he does mention PCR in a later tweet: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1327305722384719872 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1327305722384719872
- rurban 6y agoThat's the current and best procedure now. First you get tested with the cheap (8€) and fast (15min) antigen tests with a very low false negative rate. This also tests if you are infective. For confirmation if it's actually sars-cov2 and not some other cov, when you are positive you then get an expensive PCR test with an extremely low 0.1% false positive rate. The normal rate is 1%, but every probe is tested twice, ie in parallel.
