The FDA granted emergency authorization to over-the-counter antigen COVID-19 test for fully at-home usage. Test in the privacy of your home results in15
- The FDA has approved the Abbots BinaxNOW home covid-19 taken without a prescription and produces results — in about 15 minutes — without the need to either mail in a sample to a lab or wait in line for a clinic.
- Michael Mina, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, believes if just half the U.S. population were able to test themselves every four days, the country could quickly achieve vaccine-like “herd immunity” by letting people know in real time when they were contagious.
- “Scale these tests up, get these into everyone’s home, put these at the door of a restaurant, put these at the door of a gym,” Mina said in a press call “We change the balance.”
What Mina is suggesting is similar to the daily COVID-19 testing carried out by the NFL and other professional sports leagues — which is meant to regularly sweep for infections before they lead to outbreaks — albeit on a much larger scale. Rapid antigen tests can cost as little as $15,per test entirely at-home. They take lab test out of the picture. Nick Note: We have purchased 1000 of these test kits.
