It is high time Health Canada...
Came to the conclusion that PCR tests should not be used to compare the accuracy of Antigen tests as they are used right now by magnifying the virus to above CT >25 .
Every time the CT, (Count Threshold), goes up by one, the virus is actually multiplied or magnified by 10 times. This means that by CT 25 the PCR test has magnified traces of the virus to millions when in reality there are just a few in the Specimens.
Antigen tests don't magnify the virus count but rather detect what is in all likelihood contagious virus. That is why we have to change our thinking about the reliability of PCR as being the standard that every other test must be compared to.

I also emailed Arlen, he said "I would take what PHAC says as accurate" I sent the tweet to him, they are working with us
