I read that South Korea is developing them and it's close to ready. They probably need them for their own people first though.

It's a huge opportunity for a startup/company to create a home test kit for COVID-19. Massive global market for the product and growing exponentially.

Doing well & doing good at the same time.

If someone has a list of materials thatwould be required to pull these affordable tests something could be put together for sure.

the worrying thing is to keep the costs down, one would think a lot of those materials and components would need to come from Chine to be cost effective.. The tangled web.

Edit: the problem wil step from China's supply chain being slowed down.
