“We will accept anything as an exemption but we require constant testing”

Same here.

Test kits are the PCR test that CDC just admitted can’t differentiate btw COVID and other strains of flu.

Working remote until the s#!+storm ends.

"Test kits are the PCR test that CDC just admitted can’t differentiate btw COVID and other strains of flu."

That isn't what they said at all. SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza virus aren't even remotely related. Humans are as closely related to snails are SARS-CoV-2 is to Influenza virus. They aren't even in the same phylum. The RT-PCR test triggers off a specific nucleotide sequence unique to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. That nucleotide sequence is exactly what distinguishes it from SARS-CoV-1 (SARS2003) and MERS-CoV (MERS2012). To think that it can't distinguish between Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 is laughably ridiculous.

What the CDC actually said was that they want everyone moving from a simple yes/no test for COVID-19 to a test that checks for multiple possible causes for similar symptoms. With the current tests, you go get tested and they come back and say "yes, you have COVID" or "no, you don't have COVID." If it's no, you're no closer to understanding what your problem is or how to treat it. What CDC wants is for every to adopt testing that says "no, you don't have COVID, but you DO have the flu".

The authorization for the simple test ends at the end of this year. The testing that the CDC wants (looking at multiple possibilities) still uses the same RT-PCR method for checking for the presence of SARS-CoV-2.

” CDC just admitted can’t differentiate btw COVID and other strains of flu.”

It was poorly written. It said they couldn’t detect the flu but they wanted it to detect both.
