Are you saying that these Covid tests are not specific for the Covid virus? I've always thought these Covid tests are not accurate as there are too many false positives. Are these false positives because they are detecting corona viruses that cause the common cold? Yikes. That is truly ludicrous.
One cruise line, NCL, is requiring fulling vaccinated crew and passengers. I do not think NCL is requiring Covid testing, just the vaccine. But.....having said that, there are countries for ports of call that do require a Covid test. This could be a huge problem if people have a common cold and test positive on a Covid test. That just sucks!
