In Massachusetts, from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles, Dr. Mina said. “I would say that none of those people should be contact-traced, not one,” he said.
Other experts informed of these numbers were stunned.

Great. So, new cases are determined by testing, not that that really needed confirmation.
I don't think anyone has or is claiming that the PCR test is perfect; it's not. But it's better than nothing.
But to say that cases don't matter is asinine. It's so ridiculous that I'm surprised that anyone has the audacity to say it.
Would you like to revise this?
