> The PCR test can’t tell the difference between the common cold, influenza, what they call COVID or hemorrhoids, according to the CDC

Do you have a source for your claim? I am almost certain the CDC never made such a statement. I’m going to make a wild guess that your assertion based on a very cursory reading of a purposefully misleading article published by Gateway Pundit or some similar clickbait news source.

08/02/2021: Lab Alert: Clarifications about the Retirement of the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCov) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel

"CDC is retiring the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized hundreds of other SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests, many of which are now higher throughput or can test for more than one illness at a time."

"CDC is recommending that laboratories that routinely conduct influenza testing as well as COVID-19 testing, such as public health laboratories, consider transitioning to a test that can generate a result for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2, rather than running separate tests for each virus."
