Yeah, I did. I said, essentially, that if it took 40 cycles to finally yield a positive result, it's a false positive. False positive, as in detecting dead virus fragments in a person with no clinical infection. In other words, nothing to worry about. Patient is neither sick or contagious. That requires live virus to be present, in some quantity.
If you can't see that in the graphs I have posted, then you're beyond educable.
