The Food and Drug Administration has granted emergency use authorization to a new at-home rapid COVID-19 test manufactured by Siemens Healthineers.

The German-American company's at-home test was approved by the agency Wednesday amid a coronavirus testing shortage as cases surge across the country. Siemens Healthineers said it expects to provide "tens of millions" of tests each month beginning in January.

“Undetected COVID-19 exposure is a major driver of community spread. With the CLINITEST Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test, consumers will have access to a fast, reliable, and convenient test to provide additional safety,” said Christoph Pedain, head of point of care diagnostics, in a statement. “Siemens Healthineers is proud to bring this high-quality test, already used and trusted by families, medical professionals, businesses and governments in many parts of the world, to the United States under FDA emergency use authorization.”

Just go to a psychic or throw bones to find out if you have COVID.
It has the same or better accuracy than the so called 'test'.

   I noticed a long line of people at my County Health Department for the Covid test, doubt if it's free. I am not gonna devolve what I was doing at the Sex Clinic this morning.
