Live updates: CDC may soon demand test to leave isolation
WASHINGTON — As the omicron variant surges across the United States, top federal health officials are looking to add a negative test along with its five-day isolation restrictions for asymptomatic Americans who catch the coronavirus, the White House’s top medical adviser said Sunday.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now considering including the negative test as part of its guidance after getting significant “pushback” on its updated recommendations last week.
Why Some Patients Test Positive For COVID-19 Even After Complete Recovery?
In this whole ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation in the country, one potential cause of concern right now is that some recovered coronavirus patients are testing positive even after days from their recovery. So what is the reason behind testing positive even after getting recovered? According to a new study, some virus RNA can be reverse transcribed and inserted into the human genome, which may explain why some people who had already recovered from Covid-19 would sometimes inexplicably test positive on a PCR test weeks or even months later

Do we even have an accurate test?
Sounds like they got chit loads of faulty tests they need to get rid of..
Biden announces half a billion free home Covid tests to fight Omicron
Half a billion at-home coronavirus tests will be sent free to the American public in the fight against Omicron, Joe Biden announced on Tuesday, while pushing back against resistance to vaccine mandates by saying they are intended “not to control your life, but to save your life”.

This has actually been the norm in much of Europe since 2020.
Nothing big, nothing new. Just America behind the curve yet again.

Which company makes the half a billion tests? and how much stock does the Biden clan have in said company?
cause free or not somebody is paying for all of those
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.

I didn’t look yet but figured I’d ask you first…
Is there any discernible data that EU testing requirements led to better health outcomes in the EU vs. the US that is specifically attributable to testing? Serious question.
Testing from employer mandates has been going on here for some time as well, btw. From experience, it didn’t appear to stop the spread but it did create a ton of anxiety and human capital issues.

At this point with all the statistical Data coming out .
The PCR test combined with all the False Positives and its initial inaccuracies differentiating Between Sars-Cov19 and Influenza , the argument could be made there would have been no Pandemic .

Mass Psychosis is real
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — At a busy market in a poor township outside Harare this week, Nyasha Ndou kept his mask in his pocket, as hundreds of other people, mostly unmasked, jostled to buy and sell fruit and vegetables displayed on wooden tables and plastic sheets. As in much of Zimbabwe, here the coronavirus is quickly being relegated to the past, as political rallies, concerts and home gatherings have returned.
“COVID-19 is gone, when did you last hear of anyone who has died of COVID-19?” Ndou said. “The mask is to protect my pocket,” he said. “The police demand bribes so I lose money if I don’t move around with a mask.” Earlier this week, Zimbabwe recorded just 33 new COVID-19 cases and zero deaths, in line with a recent fall in the disease across the continent, where World Health Organization data show that infections have been dropping since July.
Scientists emphasize that obtaining accurate COVID-19 data, particularly in African countries with patchy surveillance, is extremely difficult, and warn that declining coronavirus trends could easily be reversed.

Maybe Africa is the true representation of how the virus would have played out if not for the Government and complicit media/tech companies:
