Yes. If I recall correctly the midseason positivity rates of flu tests is something like 40 percent, which suggests doctors are performing a legitimate differential diagnosis before prescribing flu tests. At no point ever have positivity rates been remotely close to this with coronavirus, even though it was far more prevalent. The result of any individual test performed on a healthy asymptomatic person as part of a nondiscriminating mass screening regime is pure noise.
