Testing has improved, they're encouraging/requiring the better tests, yes, including a combined test for Covid and Flu. Science! And the mask mandate indoors isn't surprising. Not enough vaccinated people leads to this happening. Stay safe everyone.

I think I need an explanation of that statement....as far as I know ALL PCR tests are emergency approved so ALL will be toast They’re pulling their request for a specific test panel from the CDC that’s been in use since Feb 2020. The CDC doesn’t request EUA for every PCR test as that is the responsibility of the test manufacturers. So no this doesn’t mean all PCR tests are toast.

This would have a huge impact on the entire COVID-19 testing industry in the U.S., which is currently comprised almost entirely of COVID-19 tests with only FDA EUA approval. https://www.itnonline.com/content/w...ave-huge-impact-us-testing-industry-says Soooo...which tests that you mentioned are fully approved? edit...meant to be a reply to eightzerobits Last edited by boucharda; 07/27/2021 05:44 PM.

Even manufacturers that based their test on the approved CDC test need to get their own EUA from the FDA. This is a non-story (and your also quoting a press release which is always a balanced source of news).

Regardless, this is a general topic which has gone totally sideways and will end here. The testing protocols will get sorted out in due time. Carol Hill
