Mainstream media headlines focus on Covid infections, cases, hospitalisations, and deaths — all determined by the PCR test.
The problem with the PCR test is the “cycle quantification” (Cq) or “cycle threshold” (Ct).
The Cq/Ct value specifies how many cycles of DNA/RNA replication are needed to detect a signal from biological samples. “Cq values higher than 40 are suspect because of the implied low efficiency and generally should not be reported.”

According to Stephen Bustin, professor of molecular medicine, a world-renowned expert on quantitative PCR, and author of the book A-Z of Quantitative PCR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Bustin), a Cq in the 20s to 30s should be aimed at and there is concern regarding the reliability of the results for any Cq over 35.
Professor Carl Heneghan, director of the University of Oxford's Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, reports that NHS England documentation shows that tests are run at 45 cycles, “which is identifying people who are not infectious.”
The inventor of the PCR test, Kary Mullis, agreed, when he said:
“If you have to go more than 40 cycles to amplify a single-copy gene, there is something seriously wrong with your PCR.”

New York Times: Your coronavirus test is positive. Maybe it shouldn’t be.

“Molecular techniques based on real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) allow the detection and quantification of DNA but are unable to distinguish between signals from dead or live cells.”
