    Have you guys heard about this PCR positive case from December in France?
  2. 2020-05-05 08:09 Kristian G. Andersen open
    Yeah, I saw the article - seems unlikely. False positive?

    They have a +ve and -ve control. Label mix up?

    Need a sequence or it didn't happen

    Agree - need sequence - but High Ct value with the qPCR they show - may not be sequencable - yes could well be false positive or another CoV. They don't show the Gene finder® COVID19 Plus RealAmp kit result.

    Very high prior probability of being false +ve.

    Also if there was one, there were more. There would have been a big outbreak in France it would have seeded the rest of the world.
