Does anyone else find it a little worrying that the FDA is just rubber stamping these? Am I justified in my concern or is that what they had been doing pre-coronavirus but with more lede time? I understand the gravity of the situation, but it seems like little oversight could lead to worse outcomes
Here's a test that works in 15 minutes:<p><a href="https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/20-20-bioresponse-to-launch-rapid-coronavirus-test-kits-in-u-s-following-green-light-from-fda/" rel="nofollow">https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/20-20-bioresponse-...</a>
Just to be cynical for a moment, does anyone actually respect the fda this? Didn't they refuse to use other countries tests, build their own, approve their own, then discover their one didn't work?<p>Id be much happier to have an independent scientist say "this seems to work based on a few tests" then the fda say "we approve this (maybe because we have to be seen to do a something or maybe because it actually does)"
