      Great article by @ScottGottliebMD on how COVID is transforming the diagnostic landscape The policies FDA enacted will accelerate at home *medical* devices (While accelerating medicine, FDA still has *no* consideration of a test used for public health :/https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-health-forum/fullarticle/2787641 …

      What’s the likelihood of a home flu test?

          Imagine not having to pay $250 for an urgent care visit to confirm it's the flu and get a Tamiflu script?

          Great idea. We have somewhat effective seasonal vaccines, though not enough people get vaccinated, yet roughly 20,000 to 60,000 in the US alone die due to flu every year. Add home flu tests, and willingness to wear masks, to the mix, and those deaths would be greatly reduced.

          There seems to be, at best, only 30-60 % protection from current flu vaccines. I think @PaulOffit has pointed to this. Is it worth a home flu test therefore?

          Efficacy against symptoms, not severe disease. But yes of course we’d be better off knowing.

          @LuciraHealth was working on a flu test prior to covid. They’re still doing extensive r&d on both a flu / flu & covid test. They’ve tested it (flu assay) in Peru last year iirc, and it was a big success (98% acc) They still have the fda trials / data to do, but it’s coming soon.

          High but will require some level of verified or almost immutable reporting.

          Tests like Lucira or others will enable automatic reporting eventually bc the device reads it for you.
