Crank up the PCR cycle limit. "Most tests set the limit at 40 or 37, which means you are positive for COVID-19 if the test requires up to 40 or 37 cycles to detect it.
The test’s threshold is so high it detects people with the live virus and those with few genetic fragments that are leftovers from infection and no longer pose risk, Mina says. It’s like finding a hair in a room after a person left it."

"The number of cycles is usually carried out 25–35 times but may vary upon the amount of DNA input and the desired yield of PCR product."
