This could be huge. Within days, the UK is readying roll out millions of tests that can tell whether you have had the virus (by checking for antibodies). Will be delivered by Amazon or available for "minimal" cost from pharmacies. https://t.co/vVCwT5cb79

ABBOTT'S INSTANT TEST MACHINE IS MAJOR NEWS. "Game Changer"! When I ran across the announcement, I had an inkling, just a gut idea, but now experts are weighing in, here is Dr. Scott Gottlieb being retweeted by ace health policy reporter Margot Sanger Katz:

This is GAME CHANGER. Abbott to market, starting next week, a fast point-of-care #coronavirus test, delivering positive results in 5min and negative results in 13min. Will deliver 50K tests/day to start. Kudos to Abbott and FDA’s Jeff Shuren and team at CDRH who are in the fight.
