If the current test CAN differentiate the two, then why request to use a new test that does the same thing?
Them saying we need to use a test that CAN differentiate influenza from covid, implies that the current test CANNOT differentiate.
I’m not defending them but the test could theoretically be able to differentiate between the two viruses while also being just generally unreliable and inaccurate
"...the test could theoretically be able to differentiate between the two viruses..."
You believe this in spite of the CDC tacitly admitting the current test CANNOT differentiate the two?
Once you realize that there are literally hundreds of tests available, and PCR is just one of several varieties. Them suggesting that you adopt another test that can differentiate as well, isn't really admitting anything. It just says that they're not producing THEIR test anymore. It doesn't say all PCR tests don't work properly.
That being said, none of it matters. The numbers will go up when they need them to.
I don’t believe that, I tried to make it clear that I’m not sure what exactly they did mean, which is kinda the point of this whole comment chain. I am starting to believe that they are being deliberately vague which will leave them wiggle room in the future if they need it
