Of course it does. It identifies if a sample has SARS CoV-2 virus traces or not.
The presence or absence of influenza virus has no impact on whether it returns positive for Covid or not.
It's true the CDC is recommending labs transition to newer tests that, from a single sample, can identify Covid, the flu and other virus, but the old test works just fine for Covid.
I'm not sure where you're getting your information but I suspect someone's lying to you.
Check your sources.
The test is not capable of differentiating between corona viruses. They are not built to do that, just any old strand of DNA, multiply it times a trillion and you have a made up case.
I’ve read it several places.
Also 2 years ago over 30 million cases of the flu (most of the last 10 years had that many).
Last year less than 3000 cases.
Where did it go?????
