This implies the tests are def. safe & prob. effective. It’s easy to create a test/treatment that’s *more* dangerous than COVID. We need urgency, yes, but we also need rigor. Historically, we haven’t been able to trust private enterprise to provide the latter voluntarily.
The FDA needs to become a hell of a lot more "I don't care how you do it, get it done" and a hell of a lot less "I don't care what you get done, here's how you'll do it"https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1242218568701202434 …

My claim is not that FDA/regulation is perfect here, only that it didn’t arise from perfectly executed science/medicine. We must be particularly rigorous when we are considering rolling something out to our entire population already in the throes of pandemic.

Here is the good reform. FDA and CDC can do the studies make recommendations same as now, but actual power to approve or ban drugs and devices is held by the states. As health care consumers then we have 50 places to win instead of one place to lose.

That's just so crazy it might work! And do exactly the same thing for patents and trademarks too! And defense! Give Florida it's own set of launch codes!
