💡Simple at-home #TestTestTest for the #coronavirus, some that involve spitting into a small tube of solution, could be the key to expanding testing and impeding the spread of #COVID19. @US_FDA should encourage their development. nytimes.com/2020/07/03/opi…
đź’ˇInstead of running #TestTestTest for each person, laboratories could #PoolTest small groups of people and analyze them all at once (#PoolTesting). For the ones that come back positive, tests could be rerun with unused portions of the original samples.
