To get COVID-19 tests to market as quickly as possible, FDA has waived requirements for checking tests’ accuracy. As of April 13, only two have been checked:
20/20 BioResponse imports Chinese tests but has confirmed their performance in only sixty of ten thousand tests shipped.
FDA has authorized one COVID-19 antibody test, from US company Cellex, under emergency powers. A formal review is still pending.
That’s the good news. The bad news is, thousands of Internet test sellers are completely unregulated by any government agency.
Some falsely claim FDA approval.
Some don’t mention that they are NOT approved.
Some are counterfeits of legitimate tests. Laredo, TX received 2,500 likely counterfeits.
Some are completely worthless frauds.
And some are outright scams, where you don’t get anything for your money. Probably better than getting wrong results, though.
There’s no longer any way to distinguish the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Is there an ADULT in the house?

"I have a little list; they never will be missed!"
My apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan for the title of this post. Although we really need to get rid of ALL incumbents, here is my bipartisan list of politicians who most need to be voted out of office. They will NOT be missed! VOTE 'EM OUT!
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Successfully blocked Federal support for election security despite known foreign election interference in the last election.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) Went back to work at the senate for ten days while awaiting results of his Coronavirus test (it was positive), thus exposing dozens of Senators needlessly.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) Single-handedly held up funds for Flint MI water purification. The architect of the Sequester.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) Tried to oppose the Coronavirus support bill.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Held up the Coronavirus support bill, while thousands died, by trying to include partisan projects like mandating emissions standards for airplanes--emissions standards which NASA scientists have not yet been able to meet, even experimentally.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) Led attempt to end US aid to Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. Known for repeated, public Anti-Semitic remarks.
Sen Bernie Sanders (D-VT) Proposed a package of socialist programs that if enacted would cost more than the entire US Gross National Product. Every. Single. Year. Forever.
Mayor Bill de Blasio (D-NYC) Threatened to permanently close any churches or synagogues (but not mosques!) defying his temporary shut-down order, clearly violating First Amendment.
President Donald Trump. Sent a shipload of PPEs and ventilators to China, then accused New York’s governor of lying about needing them. Accused the nurses of America of black marketing face masks, while they were risking their lives every day re-using one-use masks! The only man, woman, or child in history ever caught in 1500 documented lies. In one three-month period.
