How does knowing the name of your infection help you? If I'm sick I'm going to stay home and rest, not run to a test clinic out of pure curiosity.

A lab in the UK performing PCR tests messed up big time, and returned 40 000 false positives.

40 000 people forced to work by their employers, who then spread it to colleagues and customers, because they had a respiratory disease but ‘it isn’t COVID’.

COVID is particularly bad, but employees should also be allowed to stay home and rest, to not spread the cold and flu.
