It’s very likely that we’ll see additional approvals of POC diagnostics behind this one, extending testing to doctor offices across the U.S.

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.

How do we know this is real and it works!? I hope it is, I really do, but so much coronavirus fantasy running around, I'm finding it hard to believe.

The company making this test has been around since the 1880's and is behind many widely-used products on the market. If anyone was going to develop a rapid test for COVID-19, it'd be someone like these guys.

How can positive and negative results take different amounts of time?
-
Time dependent test with results showing as early as 5 minutes if positive but must run at least 13 minutes to be confirmed negative
