Our Covid tests are soon to be obsolete
In the near future, you won't be able to give our Covid tests away.

Even if these are appproved, Datametrex will add them to their portfolio and re-sell them just as they are doing with the current tests. Not a problem.

Hope you're right. If these new breathalyzer tests with instant results work as advertised, and can be brought out in large numbers in 1H2021, plus the mRNA vaccines that the FDA is about to approve get widely distributed...there's actually a decent chance we could get society back to normal by summer. What an achievement that would be!

And in dealing with a regulator like the FDA it is probably an oxymoron to use the term "in the near future".

Well this is one FDA approval I hope they take all the time they need and hold off until at least Q2 to approve. If DM is aware of this I hope they get in line to recieve approval to sell the device once it's ready....the line will be long is my guess, dam you technology haha

I believe what I have read is that the virus for sure spreads through larger droplets and not as much through breathing so a breath analysis would not be an accurate way of detecting the virus but the nasal swab will be out done by a saliva swab with they do now.

I didn't say you can't get it from someone breathing on you , just that it not as likely as someone sneezing or coughing on you.
