In response to what officials are calling a nationwide shortage of coronavirus testing, many have turned online to see if they could find tests for sale to use at home.
Near the end of March, legitimate companies like Nurx and Everlywell began marketing at-home collection kits that involved swabbing your mouth or throat to test for COVID-19.
But, in a matter of days, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration came clamping down on such sellers, calling the tests fraudulent. In a release, the FDA said "At this time, the FDA has not authorized any test that is available to purchase for testing yourself at home for COVID-19."
In response, most at-home test sellers either stopped selling the kits or began distributing them to medical providers.
Now, there is a shift to testing for antibodies through rapid blood tests, but just like the mouth and throat swabs, the FDA has not approved them for at-home use despite some internet claims.

The FDA is keeping us safe by restricting the development of convenient testing. Thank you, bureaucrats!
Alternatively, they’re protecting you from charlatans and snake-oil salesmen.
The malaria medicine that the President has mentioned is made from mugwort. — Artemisia Vulgaris. A common herb/ weed of North America Tea, oil, etc can be purchased on line. It’s so cheap the Pharma companies can’t make money on it. Look up its uses or how it has been used. It is effective in killing virus destroying its shell

Only government approved snake oil is allowed. Got it.
Based on how the bureaucrats at CDD/FDA blew it for a few weeks on testing for COVID-19, they might well be the charlatans.
Don’t know that they are unsafe so much as inaccurate.
“Alternatively, they’re protecting you from charlatans and snake-oil salesmen.”
You have a lot of respect for these Bureaucracies They count on that kind of faith from the public and the media. Oh and remember they told us 2.5 million would die
Don’t know that they are unsafe so much as inaccurate.”
Who told you that? The FDA hasn’t shown that
The only inaccuracies I’m aware of are the govt death predictions.
They’ve got to funnel the money to the approved cronies, not the rogue ones.
And CDC HAS A CONTAMINATION ISSUE.
They aren’t kidding. It will be quite some time before interfering substance are removed. Immune systems are incredibly comple. Don’t believe it. Check out gen 1 hiv tests. False positives due to the nature of how testing is developed.
FDA waiting for “the perfect,” when “really good, right now!” Is available.
As usual.
Oh, and BTW, 'they' (and 'they' includes Trump) told you that up to 2.5 million could die if nothing was done about it. One of the ways the MSM lies to us is by leaving out the qualifiers, which completely changes the message. FReepers should do better.
Does the CDC and FDA pay you to shill for them?
You should try your hand at defending some other Trump-sabotaging bureaucracies as well, you’re good at it. FBI and CIA, for example
Seriously?
