    It’s test-to-table dining. A New York City restaurant will soon require all patrons to take a rapid coronavirus test at the door before being allowed to eat inside two days a week. In what may be a first for Big Apple eateries, City Winery in the Meatpacking District will launch its pilot testing program on Tuesday. “Given the change of the seasons, finding the next level of safety and comfort level for people to dine indoors is critical for us today,” Michael Dorf, the founder and CEO, said in a press release.

    Washington (AFP) - The US issued an emergency use authorization for the first self-administered rapid coronavirus test Tuesday, as more parts of the country increase restrictions in an attempt to halt a Covid-19 surge. The Food and Drug Administration approved a testing kit for people age 14 and older whom a doctor suspects to have Covid-19. The test, which is by prescription only, delivers results in 30 minutes. "We continue to demonstrate unprecedented speed in response to #COVID19," tweeted FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn. The authorization is for an at-home nasal sample kit developed by Lucira Health. Users collect a sample...

    According to The New York Times, potentially 90 percent of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 have such insignificant amounts of the virus present in their bodies that such individuals do not need to isolate nor are they candidates for contact tracing. Leading public health experts are now concerned that overtesting is responsible for misdiagnosing a huge number of people with harmless amounts of the virus in their systems.” “’Most of these people are not likely to be contagious…’ warns The Times.” Yes, that’s what the NY Times is confessing (8/29) [2]: “Some of the nation’s leading public health...

  • Factbox: Here are the White House staff, top Republicans who have tested positive for COVID-19

    10/04/2020 8:57:39 AM PDT · by SeekAndFind · 15 replies
    A growing number of White House staff and senior Republicans have tested positive for COVID-19 since President Donald Trump revealed he had contracted the respiratory disease. The infections have roiled the presidential campaign, now in its final month, rattled financial markets and slowed the work of Congress, with the Senate vowing to delay any votes now that three members of the Republican majority have tested positive. Several people who met with the president last week said they had since tested negative, but it can take days for someone who has been exposed to the virus to develop symptoms or to...

    Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s newly-picked Supreme Court nominee, tested negative for COVID-19 on Friday, the White House said. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump announced that they had tested positive for COVID-19 early on Friday morning.  The White House confirmed that Judge Barrett has not been in contact with the president since her nomination ceremony last Saturday, and that she continues to follow guidelines from the CDC. NEW: WH spokesman Judd Deere says Judge Amy Coney Barrett tested NEGATIVE for COVID-19 today & hasn't been with POTUS since Saturday's ceremony. "She is following CDC guidance and best...

    0 Tests for Covid-19 that show on-the-spot results in 15 to 30 minutes are about to be rolled out across the world, potentially saving many thousands of lives and slowing the pandemic in both poor and rich countries. In a triumph for a global initiative to get vital drugs and vaccines to fight the virus, 120m rapid antigen tests from two companies will be supplied to low- and middle-income countries for $5 (£3.90) each or even less. The tests, which look like a pregnancy test, with two blue lines displayed for positive, are read by a health worker. One test...

    There is more than enough evidence today for the American pulic to demand an audit on the legitimacy of the coronavirus numbers. There have been hundreds if not thousands of reports of fraudulent cases. And for some strange reason the CDC demanded America’s doctors count even suspect cases in their coronavirus counts. In Oregon this week the youngest coronavirus victim in the state tested NEGATIVE for the virus...

    A new blood test for Alzheimer’s disease has shown it can be just as accurate or better than the current standards for diagnosis, performing nearly on par with potentially expensive PET brain scans and invasive spinal taps for cerebrospinal fluid. Presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, multiple researchers debuted studies demonstrating how certain proteins found in the bloodstream could warn of the neurodegenerative disease—including up to two decades before any outward signs of dementia.

    Fourteen members of a Texas family have tested positive for the coronavirus following a party last month, with one dead and another on life support, according to a report. Tony Green, the Dallas man who hosted the party and believed the global pandemic was a hoax, called the cluster of infections “a harsh lesson in the reality of COVID-19,” NBC News reported. “In great haste, I began prognosticating the alphabet soup about this ‘scamdemic,'” Green said in a column in the Dallas Voice. “I believed the virus to be a hoax. I believed the mainstream media and the Democrats were...
  • American Red Cross Giving Free COVID Antibody Test if You Donate Blood

    Free Republic ^ | 0726/20 | self
    Saw online that the Red Cross will give free antibody test to those who donate blood. Seven to 10 day turnaround. Note, however, that the test used is Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics (lgG), which has one of the lowest sensitivities (just 90%) but is 100% specific. That is, if you test positive, the result is extremely likely to be correct, but if you test negative, there is slight chance the test is wrong, i.e., antibodies are present but at levels below the test's threshold for detection, or the test did not recognize those antibodies. 
  • How Affirmative Action Screwed Up Michelle Obama

    American Thinker ^ | 14 Jul, 2020 | Jack Cashill
    In 1985, Michelle Obama presented her senior thesis in the sociology department of Princeton University. Although Michelle drew no such conclusion, the thesis is a stunning indictment of affirmative action. Those who benefited from it, Michelle most notably, may never recover from its sting. Her thesis reads like a cry for help. "I have found that at Princeton no matter how matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me," she writes, "I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as I really don't belong." She didn't. Michelle should never have been...

    City officials in Dallas have declared protesters a high-risk population, and are particularly susceptible for coronavirus infections. Due to this new status, protesters now qualify for federally subsidized coronavirus tests. The Dallas Morning News reports that the city will open up a pop-up testing location for those who have participated in civil rights protests over the past 10 days. The site will be near the American Airlines Center and is expected to open Wednesday. The pop-up location will be run by the Parkland Health and Hospital System, as well as the city of Dallas. Since protesters are now designated a...

    Demand for Abbott Laboratories rapid test for the Coronavirus strain Covid-19 continues to surge while the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reviews the product and more data comes out to support the diagnostic’s accuracy. The FDA last week said it had received 15 adverse event reports about Abbott’s ID NOW Covid-19 test, which has been hailed by the White House, drugstore chains, researchers and clinicians because it can deliver positive results in as little as five minutes and negative results in 13 minutes. As of Friday morning, Abbott said more than 2 million ID NOW rapid molecular tests had been...

It's made by LabCorp, that said due to limited quantities, it will first be made available to healthcare workers and first responders... The FDA approval is not a "general authorization for at-home collection of patient samples" and only applies to the LabCorp testing kit. Right now, the kits are available in Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island.
