The Covid-19 pandemic reified pre-existing inequalities predicated on anti-Black racism, imperial geographical cartography, and the violent language of biomilitarism. In this reflective essay I deploy tools of historical sociology to underscore the

Testing the limits of multiplex respiratory virus assays for SARS-CoV-2 at high cycle threshold values: Comparative performance of cobas 6800/8800 SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B, Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2/Flu/RSV, and cobas Liat SARS-CoV-2 & Influenz...

CONCLUSIONS: Commercial multiplex respiratory virus assays have good performance for samples with medium to high viral loads (Ct values <33). Laboratories should consider appropriate test result review and confirmation protocols to optimize sensitivity, and may consider reporting samples with additional interpretive comments when low viral loads are detected.
