The FDA has authorized the first diagnostic test with a home collection option for COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus.

In a statement released Tuesday, the FDA said that it had reissued an Emergency Use Authorization for LabCorp to COVID-19 RT-PCR Test to permit testing of samples that were self-collected by patients at home using LabCorp's Pixel by LabCorp COVID-19 Test home collection kit.

"Throughout this pandemic we have been facilitating test development to ensure patients access to accurate diagnostics, which includes supporting the development of reliable and accurate at-home sample collection options," said FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn.

Great. Hope it doesn’t cost a fortune.

They have home flu tests but the price is > $300.

Try not to complain.

Instead of a nuclear option, we can have a much more dead;y one:

The Covid-19 intercomntinental ballistic missile Snotular option.

Deadly Slime particles go atmospheric.

Fox News website has become so bad with all the jumping around by banner ads that I’ve pretty much stopped going there.

People who are cheering this have NOT thought it through.

Just like mail-in voting ballots, mail-in coronavirus tests are going to create a TIDAL WAVE of fraud. Prepare for another lockdown as the election approaches, probably based on MILLIONS of CV-positive swabs fraudulently mailed to LabCorp by the Demonrats.

My lovely wife believes it’s a Chinese bio terror thing that they can turn on anytime they wish. Once everyone has it then chinesse can then via a substance on package etc shipped from China it will be turned on. Lights out for the USA.

It’s $120.00 a pop. I had one in my cart, but removed it. At this point I’ll wait until the’re at Walmart for 20 bucks.

Tell your sweety that she is right and that China just has turned on the Viagra option.

Think about it.

You actually are very fortunate.

Wishing my wife was of similar mind, LOL.
