The US Food and Drug Administration has authorized an 'at-home sample collection kit' that can be sent to specific labs for coronavirus testing. Follow live updates:

From CNN’s Vasco Cotovio and Claudia Rebaza in London and Claudia Dominguez in Atlanta

Spanish health authorities reported the lowest daily increase in coronavirus deaths since mid-March on Saturday, as the number of new cases continues to slow down. "While it is painful that people continue to die from coronavirus, the numbers are favorable," Dr. Fernando Simon, Spain’s Director for Health Emergencies, said of the number of new deaths at the daily coronavirus briefing.

“Until now, we haven’t currently detected an active outbreak in any of the regions,” Simon said of the infections, while cautioning that Spaniards need to remain vigilant.

Ooh it’s the government’s way of secretly getting your DNA and tracking you for ever!!! Next micro chipping

There are many countries giving authorization for the use of hydroxychloroquine by patients in the earlier stage of covid-19 who is being treated at home. Why not US?

“The price is an affordable $699.99.”

How long will that take, either person will be better or dead before the results return. More money in pockets of profiteers and waisted by citizens who don’t have it to spare.

Since Baby Powder, Zantac, and Roundup, are still one the shelves, after admitting they are carcinogens, does anyone trust ANYTHING being approved by the FDA? These products have been on store shelves for decades, so why would you trust a test, that has been in use a few weeks.

Think CNN needs to investigate this private company, Everlywell, Inc., who makes this test and will make millions, in light of the FDA shutting down SCAN, Bill Gates philanthropic test.

I really love this procedure

Are you'll sure you'll all want CardiB around your kids it was her and Edward that killed my daughter Oceana and son Prince for financial gain with Summer and Ottannawa help for their family cover up of being my child molesters

FrankDangelo23 And we're supposed trust the results? No thanx!

delusionalmama ThenGoToWallmartorSomeplaceElse AndGetC19 RightAfterTheTestWas SentIn... UnlessEverybodies Tested Everyday...howDoYaKeep Track AndMakeTestingViable... WhatNext?

Oh wow this is going to be a game changer!

Just what we need. Virus samples traveling through the mail or via other delivery services. Apparently the FDA has never seen the beat up condition mail arrives in.

That would be a hard nooooooooo

Attack 🛫✈🛬🔥🇨🇳 Mfucker 🇨🇳🔥🛫✈🛬 Now 👍👍👍

Yep, a lot of countries are using them.

Hell, as many false negatives as I've heard about, this is probably a complete waste of time.

How much are we willing to bet Donald and company have a lot of financial stock in said laboratories?

Great idea.

An estimated 1.1 million people in the US have died from non-COVID since February 1st. The average age of COVID death is 82. ReOpenAmerica

I really don’t think this test will be accurate with people swabbing themselves, considering the false negative rate when nurses swab is still astonishing

Think that will be a hard pass from me.

If it's FDA at this point in history, the test will be garbage. As well, any early released vaccine will be garbage. They will work for purposes if they can delay the discovery of their garbageness past November.

More accurate than the faulty Abbott tests?

Stupidity at it's best

A great step forward though I wonder how reliable at home collection will be. It’s a fairly unpleasant deep dive to get the sample properly. Getting it half way won’t provide reliable results. 🤔

With mail being what it is, during all this, will a patient still be ill by the time the test kit arrives? And will the sample be viable once it arrives at a lab? Seriously, when Amazon is taking 2 weeks & USPS 2 day is taking 8 days NYC to Boston...

I only want it if it comes with a built in mic that listens to me dream and 5$ off my next KFC big bucket

I don't want the FDA knowing a damn thing about my personal life. This is how govt tracking starts...

Is this like Donald giving a no bid contract to collect data that the CDC already collects and provides him? Meaning, the tests are worthless cuz they tell Donny what he WANTS to hear - 0 cases?

Anyone else concerned about a government wide DNA collection system ?

Thank you president trump

The Abbott one is a fail

Don't accidentally bring in your Cologuard sample

Is that the one that costs $100?

If it actually works and everyone can have access to it- This is good news!

Abbott COVID-19 test — used by White House — could be inaccurate, FDA warnsThe test, which the FDA said could produce false negatives, got emergency use authorization in March. I won’t be happy until all 330 million of us can be tested twice. We need 660 million tests available beginning tomorrow. All test results should be public and if you have tested positive you should receive a letter or patch that says “P” so people stay away from you. Excuse me, but we were warned about this when they first made the tests available. Fear mongering- keep it up liberal media!
