A home test won't. A PCR gives you some idea if you can get them to tell you the CT (cycle threshold) value of your test. The CT value corresponds to how many times the temperature cycled before the amplification signal of the sample became detectable. Lower CT values correspond to higher viral loads.

If only you could still get a used car for $5k. I had to replace my 20+ year old car due to a hit and run that absolutely destroyed it structurally. The best I could find on short notice (I didn't have a choice because I live too far from work to bike and public transit is a joke here) was $20k. It is older than my previous car was when I bought it and nearly 4x the price.
Definitely. Plus, you can absolutely get different CT values from two different testing platforms. Some PCR tests are more hands-on than others and the result can vary based on the quality of processing and on the settings that are used in the analysis software.
