Blood tests for the coronavirus could play a key role in helping Americans return to work and school.

officials warn that the current “Wild West” of unregulated tests is creating confusion that could ultimately slow the path to recovery.

Because of the relative simplicity of the technology, the Food and Drug Administration decided to waive initial review of the tests as part of its emergency response to the coronavirus outbreak. Members of Blank's group, which represents state and local lab officials, have urged the FDA to revisit its lax approach toward the tests. That approach essentially allows companies to launch as long as they notify the agency and include disclaimers. Companies are supposed to state that their tests have not been FDA-approved and cannot rule out whether someone is currently infected.

Dr. Allison Rakeman of New York City’s Public Health Laboratory says some local hospitals are assuming the tests, which are listed on FDA’s website, “have been vetted, when they have not.” Adding to the confusion is the fact that both legitimate companies and fraudulent operators appear to be selling the kits. Distinguishing between the two can be a challenge.

To prematurely send people back to work and open things up will have this virus continuing at the alarming rates well into next year it's too early be patient ride it out and don't listen to trump ever

Not happening.

But fake test or failed quality test from 🇨🇳 will not guarantee either for people get back to work, anything better idea from potus?

Still no info on how they work though, and in the UK they've almost stopped using them completely as the governments 'plural' here said they don't work at all.

Testing is the key how to solve this problem until we get the vaccine

No one seems concerned about creating 2 classes of citizens or creating an incentive to try to get infected?

Keep school out y’alls mouth😔😔

I think every region has circumstances unique. Rural areas have space which unlike major cities allows them to adhere to social distancing recommendations in a more logical way. What may be a suitable course of action for a city might not be for a rural area. -ONE.

UK probably have 98% Germany have 99% etc coronavirus is a blessing for the lucerfariens

CNN fake news,BBC fake news,HILL fake news,FOX fake news, ABC is fake news ,EVERYONE is fake news, Donald Trump is GOD

Now they have about 90% of Americans DNA sample coronavirus is a blessing in disguise for the lucerfariens

Not going to happen.

Amazing how no one is covering Co-Diagnostics from Utah. Best test in the US in terms of accuracy and cost efficiency. Please look into them for the love of god. We need help now.

there will be no blood test and the people will go back to work and school with no problems, There is no blood test ready it's taking 18 months.

The devil is busy...The devil is a lie. I REBUKE U SATAN IN THE NAME OF JESUS...THE TRUE JESUS! MAY ALL OF UR SCHEMES AND PRACTICES FAIL AND UR ADVOCATES FALL IN THE TRAP THEY SET FOR GODS CHOSEN PPL. TAKE THAT BACK TO HELL WITH YOU!! IN JESUS NAME!!
