Lab Alert: Changes to CDC RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 Testing

I am in shocked disbelief that they had the balls to publish this.

Does this mean that not only is the RT-PCR a hyperactive test, but is also degenerate with the Flu?

In other words, is /that/ where the flu cases went? People go in with the flu, are tested for covid, get a positive result (because flu), so get booked as covid and not flu?

CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.

Why?

Exactly. The CDC is the moral compass. They have nothing to hide.

Multiplexed means that more than one set of primers/probes are used in the same reaction with a means to distinguish between the two signals.
