Dr. Robert Redfield, Director of the CDC, has vacillated on CDC recommendations regarding testing for the SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, the website is inconsistent with his latest statements in returning to testing of those believed to have contact with anyone with COVID-19.
Why the inconsistency? And also important is insurance company responsibility with the testing. If the CDC website states testing is not important the insurance companies will see that as a reason not to pay for it which will suppress people from testing when it should continue to increase the testing rate to better understand the spread of the virus.
