BREAKING news positive news, they now have a legit more affordable non-intrusive SALIVA testing protocol for COVID19 so no more nasal probing.
NBA, Yale land the COVID testing breakthrough the NFL (and the general U.S. public) has been hoping for
In a significant turn of events in
COVID-19 testing, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted an emergency authorization for the public to begin employing a saliva-based test expected to significantly increase the availability, turnaround time and affordability of
combating the coronavirus epidemic in the United States.
Developed by Yale University and jointly funded by the NBA and NBA Players Association, the testing method was granted approval by the FDA on Saturday.
The test — coined SalivaDirect — was developed to throttle up the screening process for a wide swath of Americans. The FDA approval marks a significant turn for testing in the U.S., creating the opportunity to make regular testing more readily available.
The retail pricing and companies that will carry the testing into the public domain are yet to be determined. The developers have revealed that testing could be done for as little as $4, although retail pricing is expected to be higher than that due to the cost of production, marketing, supply lines and retail outlet markups.
