The FDA has now received a total of 106 reports of adverse events for the Abbott test, a staggering increase. The agency has not received a single adverse event report for any other point-of-care tests meant to diagnose COVID-19, an agency spokesperson said.


If Abbot Lab test were accurate it could be part of a fast turnaround testing, tracing and quarantine regime but where we could back closer to normal... Abbot test are not reliable.

Damn, this stinks ... instead of shooting for a horror movie inducing and not thoroughly time tested vaccine we can shoot for a highly accurate quick answer test that would let people know if they're infected and could go inside of enclosed areas with reduced chances of being infected cause venues could know fairly quickly who has the virus.

A high accurate quick turn around test should be the priority in the short term vs an iffy vaccine and could get us closer to normality .... Abbot test isn't it

What say you?
