Is it not the change in sensitivity of pcr test's?

They were 37, now 30?

Alot less cases with that change?

Read the document rather than the tweet.
It was a proposal and if adopted, it only really effects people who recieve a second positive result.
There's no mention about the CT value being reduced from 37 to 30. And they couldn't give figures as different assays have different CT cycles as per the supplier/manufacturer.

This sounds correct, I haven't seen anything about reducing cycle count, please do post anything along these lines.

Yeah I noticed that a few times, case numbers came out at about 5 PM or thereabouts.

Wasn't talking about that . Unfortunately the virus has already got to our most vulnerable . And will again . No stopping it . Just delaying it over a longer period time . That's the reality

No thats not the reality at all.

Agreed butI think 34 was mentioned... slightly lower than the orange ones get out of covid hospital card which is why I remember ...in the context as having a very low possiblility of culturing active virus from.
