Original Note:
There is no PCR test that "could not differentiate" between influenza and COVID-19. When SARS-COV-2 was newly discovered, detecting it required a separate PCR test from the one for flu viruses. However, PCR never mistakenly diagnosed one of those pathogens as the other. https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/pcr-test-recall-can-the-test-tell-the-difference-between-covid-19-and-the-flu
