FDA hard at work again...stopping decentralized at-home testing. Disgraceful. Increases risk of nosocomial infection from hospitals.

Governors should act to expand right-to-try now, to route around FDA by allowing state regulators to approve. Create sanctuary states for tests.
FDA has a fundamentally broken culture: they simply don’t understand what an emergency is.

So you can’t reform them, yet they are too central to the system to abolish them.

But what works is to *exit* them by building parallel pathways around them.
Btw see notes below on at-home testing.

Higher error rates can be detected with controls and compensated with retest, rather than no test. Engineering problem.

The alternative is less testing, more people getting sick after going to hospital for test.
