WEEKS??? How can that be? Why don't hospital labs have tests available that can return results in an hour? We've read that many universities got FDA approval to use their own in-house tests. There was a flurry of reporting on that four to six weeks ago when the FDA relaxed its regulatory requirements, but then it just disappeared from the news.
The story is from May 1st and said the patient had been released after 9 days but there is no indication when the child was taken to the hospital. Maybe this was back when the testing was just starting and only CDC and state labs could run tests.
