Audience: Individuals Performing COVID-19 Testing Level: Laboratory Alert
After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives. Visit the FDA website for a list of authorized COVID-19 diagnostic methods. For a summary of the performance of FDA-authorized molecular methods with an FDA reference panel, visit this page.
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. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season. Laboratories and testing sites should validate and verify their selected assay within their facility before beginning clinical testing.
Interesting how the narrative is now being pushed to get back to work. I guess they got all the QE and pork they think they need and now they want to fix the supply chain realizing that no amount of liquidity will matter if there are supply chain problems. Back to work lemmings.
It's almost like someone higher up the food chain controls what the entire media thinks and says...you'd think they'd be screaming for more lockdowns and stimulus checks still with the case counts as they are.
How long until they get rid of the 10 day quarantine for symptomatic cases or reduce it to simply being off when you feel really bad? Well it is an endemic virus that is at it's most contagious often before people even feel symptoms just like all coronaviruses have always behaved... By the time you know you have it, you probably already gave it to someone else.
"CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses."
This changes how patients are screened by cutting both resources and patient swabs in half, it is still using PCR testing for BOTH Covid and Flu.
You only need to swab the patient once, use one slot on the lab machine, only need one reagent pack (remember when we ran out of reagent for the test in 2020?), and both results are reported to the healthcare provider or test taker at once.
This is literally stated in the first post if you understand the context of what your reading, OP interpreted the information incorrectly.

Oh they will continue to milk this virus but they need people working now because the Federal Reserve cannot create any more money to put into the economy.
Can't do any more QE....the Fed tapped themselves out at $12 trillion and now need to get it back somehow.

Please, pay attention to the balded! They just admitted that PCRs are not reliable differentiation method!!!!!
right. because the current method is not multiplexed to detect flu. they're not even attempting to detect flu viruses with a covid-specific test

Who was it here that chastised me with "PCR tests are highly precise COVID diagnostic tests" scientific article?
Not sure but I have my bets on that it was a Leftist.
