Ok so this is not true.
The PCR test exclusively tests for Sars-Cov-2 and does not test for flu. They are making a test that can do different strains of flu and Sars-Cov-2 within the same test.
Currently if you want to test someone for flu and Sars-Cov-2 you have to use multiple tests. They are just inventing a test that can do everything at once.
That said, the PCR test is manipulated by running to excessively high cycle threshold which gives majority false positives and is used to drive hysteria in the media. Also, Sars-Cov-2 is treatable with existing therapies and there was no legal justification or necessity to rush a "vaccine."
But it is false to say it cannot distinguish between flu or Sars-Cov-2.
funny, because the CDC website says, exactly the opposite of your point.
Directly says : " CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. "
This basically says the current PCR testing can't tell the difference, and that's why they recommend other methods.
Is that not what they're saying here, or again, are we all missing something?d
And, if that IS true, explain to us how they figure out 'variants'. Seeing as how they're saying the PCR can't tell the difference - how could you even detect a variant of Virus A, if you can't differentiate between Virus A or Virus B?
A "multiplexed method" is one that can test for two things in one (hence multiple). What they're saying is they would like to have a test that can tell if you have covid and if not, is it the flu or is it neither. Current tests can only test for one at a time.
