Super exciting day. 78 days ago saw my lab and thought we need to help fight #Covid. Today I’m running our Covid Detect At-Home test. A sensitive presymptomatic molecular test for the rest of us. Scaling as I tweet to millions & 10s of million per month.
Just ran Covid Detect At-Home test for the first time on myself!

So simple. Swab and go!
and...

Well I’m human, the nose collection control worked (we test for human gene).

And I’m NOT positive for #Covid.

Total Game changer!

Real molecular testing anywhere. By anyone.
Congratulations to the best team on earth @4Catalyzer & @HomodeusInc.

You went from an idea on March 7th to a product I could use on myself. And a product in production to scale to meet the testing needs of planet earth.

A true molecular test, without the PCR machine or lab!
Team is working around the clock to produce at a scale & cost that can get us all back to work, school, and play.

Team is working closely with, and listening to, regulatory agencies to make sure this is simple, reliable, sensitive and accurate.

Will keep you posted! #COVID19
