Breaking: FDA authorizes 15-minute coronavirus test, co. will start delivering 50,000 tests per day
FDA authorizes 15-minute coronavirus test
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued Emergency Use Authorization for a new coronavirus test that takes just 15 minutes to complete.
The test's maker, Abbott, announced the news Friday evening in a press release, saying it plans to start delivering 50,000 tests per day starting next week.
Abbott will run the tests on its point-of-care ID NOW platform, a portable platform that weighs less than 7 pounds and can be deployed to coronavirus hotspots. The company said it expects to produce about 5 million tests per month.
It marks one of the fastest tests for COVID-19 available and comes just a week after the FDA approved another 45-minute rapid point-of-care test.

One day it is Ef everyone, screw the states complaints. Next day, we are doing an excellent job we alone made the executive decision to force GM to make those fugging generators those mealy-mouthed Governors are whining about.
