drhooves, there are currently 3 RT-PCR tests currently being used where I work. Only 1 currently tests for covid alone. The other two test for covid along with a) Influenza A and B and RSV or b) a panel of 18 other respiratory viruses and bacteria. I think the case numbers are pretty much meaningless at this point. Also, we have NEVER tested asymptomatic people for respiratory pathogens before covid.

As to the vaccinating control group members during the "clinical trials", if that isn't a gigantic red flag spangled with flashing hazard lights I don't know what is.
