Funny thing about that, I was watching a youtube video (I really wish I could find it) I think on diseases in cannabis a few years back, and one of the speakers on the zoom call, a P.H.D., was saying they use PCR to detect HLV and he was of the personal opinion that the typical testing used too high of a cycle threshold, almost guaranteeing false positives. He said they were using something like 24 cycles, at least during the george w bush years. Do you happen to know the typical Ct value used in those positive reports?
