So, our local ski resort is ostensibly in the midst of a Covid “outbreak” and the authorities are begging people to get tested, isolate, blah blah blah. (even though the local paper admitted no one is seriously ill and no one has needed to go to hospital)

Out of curiosity, my husband contacted the health centre at this resort (we are patients here) and inquired of the director if the cycle threshold was reported on the Covid tests that came back positive. She said she had no idea, but to call Life Labs as they are the ones doing the results analysis.

After an hour on hold for Life Labs (he read a book), finally a live voice came on. It was a lab tech who said she had worked on the patient hotline for over a year, and this is the first time anyone had asked about the cycle threshold. She said she had never heard of a cycle threshold. To her credit, she did look it up, and she reported that Life Labs does not divulge what cycle threshold they use, but that if a doctor specifically requests that info that they will include it.

It has been common knowledge in the USA for some time, that any “positive PCR test” in an asymptomatic individual is basically meaningless if it was amplified at over 30-35. The powers that be in the province of PC have apparently never heard this, and neither has it been communicated to the province’s physicians.

Then again, perhaps our power-tripping dictator of a so-called Health Officer has indeed heard of this, but would prefer to keep the positive case numbers artificially inflated so as to justify her rampage of lockdowns and economic destruction
