It PAINS & infuriates me that we continue a path of INACTION beyond a vaccine
Deaths are increasing. Yet our leaders CHOOSE to do nothing
The nation should be in an uproar!
We could ALL know our infection status daily & stop #COVID19
Instead our leaders choose dying
Pathetic.

Vaccines are great - But not getting to everyone now - and not for many months.
We have a tool now that could allow society to run MUCH safer.
Holidays spent MUCH safer
Stores and restaurants open and MUCH safer
Schools MUCH safer
This is doable, now-if our leaders wanted it.

Today, we have US companies making millions of rapid tests that people COULD be using to:
Know if their child is bringing SARS-CoV-2 virus back from school
Safely go to work, dine at restaurant, shop for groceries.
Instead US companies are forced to ship them overseas.

These tests are being sent overseas because they are not legal in the US because the @US_FDA is treating every test as though it is a medical diagnostic test requiring a doctors prescription. Rather than an urgently needed public health tool that could stop spread.
Imagine how the risk-benefit would change if we decreased the risk of contagious people entering into schools, churches, offices, restaurants, shops, grocery stores... by 95%.
We would simultaneously see reduced spread of the virus and start to see society look normal again.
