It should play the Jeopardy theme while the test runs.

It would be great if you could go to a restaurant and or grocery store and know the employees were not suffering from the Wuhan Flu. The restaurant business would pick up immediately.

I used to deliver freight to the Abbott Labs baby formula factory in Casa Grande, Arizona, next to the Frito Lay factory and across the highway from a critical location in my exciting crime thriller, Collateral Crimes (available on Amazon).

What was I talking about? Oh, yeah.
They were the strictest customers ever when it came to sanitation. They took food safety quite seriously.

Can those employees get the same tests run on every customer before they come into contact with them?

I was just talking to my doctor yesterday and he was talking about the test results taking 5 or 6 days. With a fast test, people could start treatment immediately with the hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc sulfate... or some other combo.... and that would pretty much end the crisis.

When I was in high school in Illinois, my mom worked at Abbot Labs. One time she gave me several feet of rubber tubing and a huge needle.
Another relative works in pharmaceuticals. Abbots was/is her client. This relative used to give us over the counter products and mugs and ink pens, etc. I loved the freebies and missed them when she went to a different company.

Years ago Nancy Pelosi’s democrats banned marketing to healthcare workers; food, “over the counter products and mugs and ink pens, etc” to prevent undue influence. They still allowed contributions to politicians and PACs.

One of my neighbors works in IT at at the Frito Lay factory. Ill have to check out your book.

We need something like this for anyone working or going back to work. If they can make billions of them, inexpensively, everyone can test daily before leaving their home.

It’ll end the crisis if patients self-quarantine while taking the meds and until no longer infectious.

It was on Fox news this morning. Pretty neat device. You take the swab sample either from throat or nose and insert in the machine and 5-10min later voila. Results. They are going out to major cities with highest cases for now then will go out to doctor’s office down the road.

Any chance of posting a picture of the instrument Abbot is announcing ? It would complement your posting.
