NPR's guide to COVID tests: When to test, what kind to use and what your results mean [npr.org]
If you've been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you should self-test. But not right away.
...
The CDC recommends testing either when symptoms develop or, if you aren't showing symptoms, five to seven days after exposure. That would give enough time for the body to develop a viral load that can be detected by a test.

It's a myth. Example fact check: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/12/30/fact-check-cdcs-pcr-test-withdrawn-after-dec-31/9053100002/

Fact check is about as worthless as this test that reduced influenza by 95% last year.... they all somehow had Covid (that has about 2500 known strains.)
From CDC website
"In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season. Laboratories and testing sites should validate and verify their selected assay within their facility before beginning clinical testing."

it's a policy passed by the US government. Opinions vary, like always, but my attempted unbiased opinion is that this will cause significant insurance issues. First off, insurance companies (who i have no love for) have no coding for this, so I'm not sure how they're going to cover this or even process this in a timely fashion, which I'm certain they won't. Secondly, this will not be free. Expect your insurance premiums to noticeably increase next year to cover the cost for this. So it's no cost now, pay more than it's value later.

Hospitals are still overflowing so no, this isnt a PR stunt. Covid tests are required for unvaccinated federal workers and many more want to take a test before they travel or get together with family. People want to do the right thing but its expensive. Free tests and high quality masks are long overdue.
