Our use of the PCR test as the backbone or our testing due to the public health officials belief it is the most accurate reminds me of what I read about the Germans during WWII.
Germany, as all countries, during the War, was tasked with keeping up armaments to sustain the fight. Whereas the US war production focused on quantity while sacrificing some quality, the Germans could not go against their DNA.
Instead Germans continued to focus on making bullets of the highest level of quality while producing a fraction of what the US was producing when the true need at the time was quantity. Seems like we are repeating the same mistake here.
