Think about it this way

If you choose not to use the affordable rapid test & only send the $$ 1-2 day PCR test...

How is that ever better for the patients that wouldve been Pos on the rapid test??

It would be a HUGE miss - almost malpractice: 2 days vs 15 minutes is a LOT

Just like we have HIV testing algorithms designed to maximize patient care, let’s not be foolish with COVID, Flu and others

Let’s be smart and give patients the best opportunity for care AND for limiting transmission

CDC and U.S. FDA Should support better algorithms
