FDA authorizes first Covid-19 breath test

The agency granted emergency use authorization for the test, which detects chemical compounds in breath samples. A positive result should be confirmed with a molecular test.

Are the days of nasal swabs coming to an end?

The InspectIR Covid-19 Breathalyzer test has to be done by a trained operator, but the FDA said it can provide a result in around three minutes.

Good second option?

Interesting. Not sure if this really adds much to the equation now that home test kits are so readily available and easy to use though.

Also, it's a little strange that they consider 4.2% of the population being positive a "low disease prevalence." If I'm doing the math correctly, in the US that converts to a daily infection rate of about 500k to 1 million.

I'm sick of the nose swabs personally, I welcome the breath test. I have to test weekly. I wonder what the price will be?

I wonder how accurate they are compared with the swab too.

I hope that works out because I go into a sneezing fit every time I get those swabs up my nose.

Just think. if this Biden regime were to win this coming November, the liberals can demand Covid breathalyzers performed by the Covid Gestapo on anyone not wearing a mask. Anyone caught with Covid will lose his job, his house, and his family taken away by the state for their own protection.
