There’s always been more than ample “capacity” in place, the issue was the narrowness in what was previously approved. That’s why this announcement is actually quite important: it addressed the most rate limiting issue in the US.

Yup, agreed - and yes, this announcement is very important to help resolve the issue. However, we are two months into the epidemic and making these decisions now is being very late to the game - plus what's described in the announcement still needs to be developed and implemented

Why can't a clinical laboratory use an in-house test or ROU labelled commercial test, with appropriate controls?
