Not FDA approved, and even by their own documentation has a degree of error (The validation data for the kits we use at RootMD demonstrate a 95% sensitivity (true positive) and a 91% specificity (true negative) rate.), yet they state: "With your results in hand, you will be able to confidently put those around you at ease by helping them know with certainty that they can’t contract the coronavirus from you.

And of course they&#x27;re not working with insurance companies or anything to make this accessible to anyone outside the HCOL bubble who have giant amounts of disposable income to sign up for an unknown commitment to a $130 a month &quot;membership&quot;.<p>Just sell the damn test and don&#x27;t worry about &#x27;growth hacking&#x27; during a pandemic.
