TWiV 641: COVID-19 with Dr. Anthony Fauci
Dr. Anthony Fauci joins TWiV to discuss SARS-CoV-2 transmission, testing,
immunity, pathogenesis, vaccines, and preparedness.
Dr. Anthony Fauci Quote:
“What is now sort of evolving into a bit of a standard, that if you get a
cycle threshold of 35 or more [cycles] that the chances of it being
replication-competent are minuscule”
“Somebody comes in and they repeat their PCR and it’s like 37 cycle threshold
but you almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle.”
“So, I think if somebody does come in with 37, 38, even 36, you got to say, you know it’s just dead nucleotides, period.”
