I have practiced infectious diseases Medicine through 41 flu seasons.
We used a quad PCR for most of this year (flu a/b, RSV, COVID). We had one flu B and zero flu A.
And as far as the fictitious US “extra money” for COVID dx, this does not explain the identical results in Chile, SA, or Australia.
Well you used the pcr. everyone know that has a 97% false + rate! I saw it on the internet so it must be true! /s
