The test for COVID. Reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR), depending on the site of collection can have a false negative rate but it does NOT confuse it with influenza.... do you have a source for what you are saying? Refer to JAMA and LANCET publications on the PCR test.
If you understand how this test actually works you would never make a statement like that. By design a PCR test are fairly specific but can lack sensitivity. Refer to this document Page 5, it shows that the test does not have cross-reactivity with the exception to a part of the previous SARS.

Let this be a warning sign to Trump to consider self-isolation. Trump won't stop shaking hands. This virus is highly contagious.
Best to get rid of the Monarchy and you have more money for hospitals. Right-wing populist movement in the Uk.
No no no no don’t make any suggestion that might keep Trump out of harms way.
Leave him been - Darwin needs a new BFF.
Dude, your sig pic is killing me! A month ago it would have inspired me to make a phone call and now I can't!!!!!!!
https://nationalpost.com/news/world...e-mystery-behind-the-true-covid-19-death-rate
The figure at the root of so much global angst about coronavirus is currently 4.7 per cent.
That is the proportion of people, as of Sunday afternoon, who have died after being diagnosed with the virus — 32,137 out of the 685,623 who have tested positive for Covid-19 around the world.
It compares with a death rate of around 0.1 per cent for seasonal flu and 0.2 per cent for pneumonia in high-income countries. However, 4.7 per cent is not only changeable but frustratingly unreliable, both for governments seeking to calibrate their policy response and for citizens trying to gauge how much they should worry.
The proportion of people who have died from the disease varies strikingly from country to country. Researchers warn that there are so many uncertainties — not least over the true number of infections — that it remains almost impossible to draw firm conclusions about the death rate.
Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization’s health emergencies programme, has outlined four factors that might contribute to the differing mortality rates: who becomes infected, what stage the epidemic has reached in a country, how much testing a country is doing, and how well different healthcare systems are coping.
But there are other sources of doubt too, including how many coronavirus victims would have died of other causes if no pandemic had occurred. In a typical year, about 56m people die around the world — an average of about 153,000 per day.

Going into hospitals a week ago and shaking hands with covid-19 patients wasn't a very good idea on his part.
