2031 covid cases in quebec today......... keep it all open guys ...ffs....
Are those sick people, or just people who tested positive via RT-PCR with 40 cycles? I see that out of those "cases" no one actually was hospitalized and, in fact, the count went down by 7.
Quebec reports 13,849 active "cases" and 754 people hospitalized "with covid". That does not necessarily mean they are in the hospital because of covid though, they just tested positive after, perhaps.
Here is a fascinating article in the New York Times, from August, where they discuss the PCR test and cycle threshold. Perhaps our public health experts need to review the testing procedures?
The usual diagnostic tests may simply be too sensitive and too slow to contain the spread of the virus.
