Fast at-home coronavirus tests could help bring the United States’ surging outbreak under control — if companies developing the tests can convince regulators that the public can be trusted to use them correctly.

Several firms are vying to be the first to market a test that Americans could buy over the counter with results delivered in minutes at a bedside or a breakfast table. That could allow people to screen themselves before heading to the office or school, relieving pressure on overburdened testing laboratories and quickly identifying new infections.

But concerns about the tests’ reliability, how consumers might react to their results and how public health departments will track them have slowed their development.

Companies formulating such tests say they won’t seek emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration until later this year or early next — in part because the agency wants them to prove that adults of different ages, education levels and English proficiency can successfully use their products.

  1. It exists. and that is how you know how much the media lies. In fact, the company doing the mass testing in Lakewood and Monsey (Vault – https://www.vaulthealth.com/covid) has one for at home. Just know, that the mass testing is another myth and we are doing shibud mitzrayim again for ourselves – hope there is enough folks like Shevet Levi who are ignoring the calls for every Jewish child’s DNA to end up in the Rutgers (RUCDR) bio-library. C’mon, chevra, lets use our brains, the Jewish past history (where rabbonim were used to create lists of the Jews prior to ghetto relocation or transport to camps)…and also read up when ordered to do a test of where the results go, who shares the data and what they get to keep on file and even possibly sell.
