RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Testing is way forwardIf Amazon is sold out , that means there is high demand for AT Home covid test kits. But is not the only online seller. U would make out like a bandit Smokey if u do a better job of doctoring messages. Some may believe that CLIA waver u got for some other test. But an athome test is an at home test. does not rquire a lab or used by a HC professional. Also if HC approves the Quidel at home test it paves the way for more. In the beginning HC was against using AG tests . Then slowly allowed for overload testing now it seems HC is all for AG testing.

The QuickVue SARS Antigen Test has not been FDA cleared or approved, but has been authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use by authorized laboratories for the detection of proteins from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens.
*Testing is limited to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a, that meet the requirements to perform moderate, high or waived complexity tests.
While they now also sell an at home test it is unavailable from Amazon.com and there is no indication when or if it will be available again. Furthermore it was never available in Canada.
So apparently U (you) can't buy this test. I don't know what your end game is on this board TheeRock ....but please do your homework before posting.
