Public health officials warn that the current “Wild West” of unregulated tests for COVID-19 is creating confusion that could ultimately slow the path to recovery.

Blood tests for the coronavirus could play a key role in deciding whether millions of Americans can safely return to work and school. But public health officials warn that the current “Wild West” of unregulated tests is creating confusion that could slow the path to recovery.

Right now, the tests are most useful for researchers studying how the virus has spread through the U.S. population. The governmentFriday it has started testing 10,000 volunteers. The White House has not outlined a broader plan for testing and how the results might be used. During an interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Hahn expressed “concern” that tests being sold “may not be as accurate as we’d like them to be.”

“Then somebody goes home and kisses their 90-year-old grandmother,” said Rakeman. “You don’t want to give someone a false sense of security.”

Why yes we should take. Ideas advise if we can ever understand what he is saying.

Commissars gonna commissar.

My wild guess is: true,Specially if hers immunity or test if antibodies is limited to a specific single strain of the virus. Other mutations, the killer (mutation) might only be stopped via vaccine!COVID__19 COVID19 coronavirus COVID2019 etc StayHomeSaveLives LosAngeles

So disappointed in how CA ranks one of worst testing per capita. Wisconsin and New Mexico are only states testing less than us....

Why doesn't the Federal Gov't fund a proper test programme through the DPA? It's the way to defend the country.

Since America is still lagging in testing and the few private labs are backlogged, we still do not have true figures of the infected. The premature and dangerous talk of reopening the economy puts us at risk for a second and deadlier wave of infections. WH bungling.

“Could” “might” “possible” translates to “we have no idea”

Australia is leading the way for the western world. Why not learn from others?
