It's obviously very difficult to arrive at any exact science about the prevalence of positive tests which were not actually contagious.

Another take away is that it seems based on a number of non-peer-reviewed studies that the PCR cycle threshold should be set at 34 instead of 40.

By the way, has anyone heard anything from Hamas at all? That dude has been a ghost for some time now.
Yes, the 90% was mentioned in the NYT article from late August:

So, again, what's new?
