If the regulators get out of the way it would be great to make these available direct to consumer with an app companion, and the consumer can share the results with their physician.

Something tells me that if the regulators got out of the way, we would have dozens of Covid tests available, half of which would work better than a coin toss.

Millions and millions, millions of tests per day could be available today, except that the FDA is sitting on the applications, many of which I’ve looked at. And the applications are stellar. There’s absolutely no reason for an inexpensive three- or four-dollar test to be being outright rejected by the FDA right now or just sitting in a queue for many months. It’s no longer a normal time at the FDA, they’re being held up there for unknown reasons.

If we could mail a free test and free mask to every registered USPS address once a week we could end the pandemic if people who are anti-vax are not anti-test.
