is this actually true?
Well the CDC did post an alert earlier this year telling labs to stop using PCR testing in favor of methods that can tell the difference between the coof and the flu.
In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.
