RT-qPCR tests are specific for nucleic acids from SARS-CoV2. Increasing PCR cycle threshold does not allow for the test to detect other unrelated viruses, as PCR primers are specific to SARS-CoV2 RNA. https://www.fda.gov/media/136151/download

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1366402835823362053
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
