      This would be a great choice. HHS/CDC/FDA has completely fallen down on the job, bottlenecking testing during a critical period. CDC reports a total of 426 people in the US were tested as of 2/24, a rate of ~12 per day. But South Korea was at 3000/day. We can do >100X better.https://twitter.com/ddiamond/status/1232698636494082053 …

      balajis.com Retweeted Scott Gottlieb, MD

      This is not due to some technological limitation. The test is standard. It is a form of artificial scarcity, created by HHS/CDC/FDA bureaucracy. Scott is very diplomatic below, but the TLDR is that FDA is denying local labs the authority to test.https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1231946561405509636 …

      It may take kit manufacturers several more weeks to obtain an EUA from FDA because kit production is a significant undertaking intended to supply multiple labs. It’s unclear when CDC will be able to help more public health labs stand up tests, but the hope is very soon.

      • Report NetzDG Violation

      Longer version: 1) Normally, licensed clinical labs can do laboratory developed tests (LDTs) without FDA approval 2) But HHS' declaration of a Public Health Emergency meant FDA gained bottleneck power 3) And they have not approved test kits or issued authorizations to labspic.twitter.com/JLNzUTxVCU

      • Report NetzDG Violation

      Here's the specific FDA citation. Translated from bureaucratese, the more serious the emergency, the higher the "risk"...hence the more red tape that will be imposed on test approvals! Of course, the real risk is being too slow to clear a standard test. http://archive.is/wip/lgqI6 pic.twitter.com/z6M70OJIwT

      • Report NetzDG Violation

      Given the number of cases that competent countries like Singapore & South Korea have detected, we may have an issue in the US. But if FDA blocks test kit approvals & doesn't give emergency use authorization to labs, everyone can be in denial. No diagnosis, no cases, no problem.pic.twitter.com/OWeNFyqUJK

      What if that’s what the administration wants?
