CNBC's Brian Sullivan read the riot act to a guest from the FDA for "not approving cheap DIY test kits like they have in England". The FDA guy siad that is because test kits are considered devices, which has to meet more stringent requirements to which Sullivan said BS you could approve it with the swipe of a pen.
I am glad someone dlivered that message to the FDA because my local CVS and Urgent Care both charge $150 for a rapid test and $100 for a 72-hour test.
Neither are covered by insurance unless you test positive. So, for my healthy family of 4, that's $600 to tell me what we already know (we don't have COVID) but we need to do it to make grandma feel comfortable for Thanksgiving.
How many other prople are doing the same where a negative test is a requirement. I can't wait for Innova's OTC $5 test to get approved.
