Everyone needs to realize that the test being used to discover bird flu in milk tanks, dairy herds and elsewhere is the PCR test. Yes, the infamous PCR test. Remember false positives?
The PCR test is a mechanism to genetically amplify material to find floating pieces or particles of something. The inventor, of course, says it is bogus for finding viruses. It was developed for genetic discoveries, not for finding diseases. Someone smarter than I can tease out these differences, but suffice it to say it’s the wrong tool. You wouldn’t pick up a box end wrench to turn a Phillips head screw.
Second, even if it were the right tool, it’s being applied incorrectly. Each cycle is like a microscope amplification. Remember turning microscope lenses from 35X to 100X? Each cycle of a PCR test amplifies magnification to find additional material floating in the sample. The official USDA and FDA number of cycles is 45. Massachusetts officials I think are the first state folks to say categorically that anything more than 30 cycles is bogus.
How so? Because if you keep ramping up the amplification, smaller and smaller particles will show up.
