RE:RE:Sona on the CBC The National! Anything that goes for the Sona test, also goes for the Abbott Panbio which is already selling around the world. The Panbio is basically the same lateral flow test with better accuracy.
Canada has already stated the 20 Million Panbios bought are just a backup to the RT-PCR tests which they bought enough supplies to perform 200,000 tests per day for the rest of the year.. That does not include all the other commericail tests approved that are purchased by Canada or other companies.

So if a SONA test is going for $50 you'd be looking at $500/mo. for a 3 day test schedule... $750/mo. for a 2 day test schedule... or $1500/mo. if testing every day..! This is out of the reach of most, if not all businesses, gov'ts, and individuals until the price comes down to under $5/day... so not what happens to the margins then..!!
Funny how Dork321.. the man with the calculator, never factors in this reality, but only pie in the sky numbers to distort the reality of the challanges going forward..!
Dork321... we all have calculators... some of us even know how to use them... LOL.!
