ANALYSIS: Could a test really detect if someone is a COVID-19 'superspreader'?
Like current COVID-19 tests, the test requires a sample of viral genetic material from a patient swab. The genetic material is "extracted" from the swab .
This equation may be tricky to grasp, but the important part to understand is that below this threshold, the person has a lower amount of replicating virus than the test can guarantee to detect.If a person records a result above the threshold, that tells scientists the virus is alive and replicating.
what part of the virus genome it is detecting, and how is this different to our current diagnostic tests?how will the test results be presented? For example, will the test provide a reference range and guide on how to interpret the result?
