My buddies do PCRs every day, some of them for decades. Non of them work on human tissues, but they all have done PhDs and postdocs in prestigious labs, and some of them are already tenured and considered rising stars. So, yes, they are a reliable source.
Thank you for the medrxiv pointer, I will read it later today when I have the time.
The conclusions mins you, which one should never trust without actually reading the paper (and I admit I have not, especially not pg 25 you pointed to) are: “ Conclusions Community SARS-CoV-2 infections show marked variation in viral load. Ct values could be a useful epidemiological early-warning indicator.”
At face value, this reads “Ct value should be published”. But I will only adopt this interpretation (or disown it) after reading the entire paper.
