“read the cdc statement”
I’m pretty sure that by all examples given so far the CDC cannot be trusted to tell you/us one lick of truth.
Here is where you need to step back and ask “Would they lie?” before you support them as a source of factual information.
Their information is just not working “in the real world”.
But you probably have to parrot them or lose your license or practice. But you are not required to also go out of your way to try and insult our intelligence...
That is a real nonsequiter. You presented information that is patently false. If you choose not to believe the information because you think the CDC is lying, then so be it. But the actual tests and panels distinguish between diseases. I run these panels on a regular basis. Instead of getting an answer to one disease process off a swab, I get 6 tests.
Its just like the draw one tube of blood and get 7 chemistries, liver profile, bilirubin totals, and protein. Its called a panel for a reason.
I am not required to parrot anything and do not have my license threatened — so that is a mother nonsequiter. Its total crap. It is my job to present what actually it, but you can believe it or not.
