They didn’t use this test. Listening to the press conference now, it sounds like they may be moving to a self-swab test, which would be great.

There are signs that the way to go would be poop-tests. The throat and nose tests often don’t detect cases, but at least some studies show near 100% detection rate from infected from stool samples.
