Most of these tests are from CHINA.
From the article:
The California biotech company Biomerica sells coronavirus antibody tests for less than $10 in Europe and the Middle East, while Chembio Diagnostics, a medical-device company based in New York, is sending its antibody tests to Brazil and plans to study them in the US, Reuters reported last week.
Question: Why can't we get them here?

Question: Why can't we get them here? Because everyone in the US would feel entitled to have a test, with demand overloading the supply. Can you imagine what Hollywood is going to be like if (when) these tests are readily available? Not only would they *demand* the tests, they would publicize the results on social media.
Now, why aren't the tests available for those critical need situations here in the US? That would be a better question.

Because we have a very powerful regulatory agency with enforcement powers called the FDA.
