They didn’t acknowledge this. The RNA used for the COVID19 test is specifically chosen to avoid any sequence that is conserved in other coronaviruses...

But I agree. The best metric is COVID cases in ICU, or COVID deaths, even though these aren’t perfect metrics either.

This is what you get from the CDC if you test positive:

Maybe there are multiple test types, but in this particular case it seems the test is relatively non specific to covid-19.
