Are you going in for more tests from more different labs? Or as you've only mild or zero symptoms take some home remedies? Either way get well soon Elon 💕💫

Doing tests from several different labs, same time of day, administered by RN & am requesting N1 gene PCR cycle threshold. There is no official standard for PCR testing. Not sure people realize this.

Leibniz deserves much more commendation in the development of math, physics, engineering, and philosophy. If you haven't heard of the Leibniz-Newton calculus controversy I would check it out.

Today is Nov 14. #OTD in 1716 polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz passed away. Known as the last “universal genius”. He made deep, important contributions to the fields of logic, mathematics, physics, geology, and history. He formulated calculus independently of Newton.

If the question is "Am I currently infectious right now when the swab is collected" then on *most* instruments/labs, data suggests a Ct value somewhere around 30 or below is needed. (Different instruments/labs are different - but that's a decent generalization)...

Worth reading this thread if you’re curious about rona testing
Elon Musk@elonmusk· Nov 15, 2020@michaelmina_lab In your opinion, at what Ct number for the cov2 N1 gene should a PCR test probably be regarded as positive? If I’m asking the wrong question, what is a better question?

Why are Ct values for tests not provided with the results?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Nov 15, 2020
They should be imo. If you get a blood pressure test, they tell you the number, not just if it’s high/not-high. There is not a clear consensus on what Ct value of what cov2 gene constitutes “positive”.

A little up & down. Feels just like a regular cold, but more body achy & cloudy head than coughing/sneezing. DayQuil rocks.

PCR CAN be used as comparator - but must be w extreme care
RNA presence does not = live virus presence
It’s like faulting a newly installed security camera for not detecting a crime that was committed - even though some DNA is left on the floor at which it points.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to make a strict cutoff that tries to apply to all tests. It causes confusion. For example - just the way the cycles are reported can differ. Abbott m2000 for example cuts off ten cycles in reporting. So a 24 reported is actually a 34...

Cool, but please be super cautious. Expect two steps forward, one back. Lot of new code was merged.

Am getting wildly different results from different labs, but most likely I have a moderate case of covid. My symptoms are that of a minor cold, which is no surprise, since a coronavirus is a type of cold.
