From my understanding, the "amplification cycly threshold" is a number which depends on the specific PCR test. So every lab has somewhat different numbers applying to their testing method. Consequently, there is no single number for this the government could publish. And without an analysis of that specific lab, the number isn't meaningful at all. Publishing it would actually be very harmful as it is so meaningless.

- _ph_ 6y agoIt is not setting individual standards, but about calibration of the process. Each piece of measurement equipment needs to be calibrated.
