I am not sure how this will effect the requirements for those tourists traveling to St. Maarten/ St. Martin for 2022?

boucharda--your link doesn't look pretty, but it works! 
Of course, I don't know any more than before I read the link.
What does this mean?

Isn't it kinda unusual that NOBODY had the flu last year?
Seems there might be a reason.
But fear not. Gates and Soros to the rescue!

When Washington St posts it daily ongoing totals for Covid they say " confirmed and probable cases". Flu was probably in the counts.

Well... masks and distancing would be a decent reason

CDC will be recommending masks indoors again... Vaxxed or not! This nightmare never ends.

By the way, the FDA is pulling emergency use of "a" PCR test...not all PCR tests as the headline of this post implies. Testing has improved, they're encouraging/requiring the better tests, yes, including a combined test for Covid and Flu. Science!
And the mask mandate indoors isn't surprising. Not enough vaccinated people leads to this happening. Stay safe everyone.

They’re pulling their request for a specific test panel from the CDC that’s been in use since Feb 2020. The CDC doesn’t request EUA for every PCR test as that is the responsibility of the test manufacturers. So no this doesn’t mean all PCR tests are toast.

“This planned withdrawal could mark a bellwether of EUA approved COVID-19 tests coming to an end. This would have a huge impact on the entire COVID-19 testing industry in the U.S., which is currently comprised almost entirely of COVID-19 tests with only FDA EUA approval.

Soooo...which tests that you mentioned are fully approved?

Again, the CDC is letting the EUA for its test expire. Each manufacturer has to get their own EUA from the FDA. Even manufacturers that based their test on the approved CDC test need to get their own EUA from the FDA. This is a non-story (and your also quoting a press release which is always a balanced source of news).

I posted a press release in addition to a release from the CDC as part of a balanced response

NOT intended as a specific response to boucharda--I should have pulled that Gates/Soros conspiracy BS to begin with.
Regardless, this is a general topic which has gone totally sideways and will end here. The testing protocols will get sorted out in due time.
