Positive News
Nice update this morning. The FDA must be interested in continuing the review of the test if they asked the company to furnish them with additional data. From any number of news sources, it looks like COVID tests are going to continue to be a normal part of life and I am sure that a significant number of testing outlets, from Universities, Schools, Workplaces, Clinics and the travel industry are going to be using these tests in the absence of proof of vaccination whether someone does not have a card or cell phone app or an individual has lost a card or other verification source. I expect, as well, that there has been feedback, from testers and patients in regard to negative experiences with the invasive swab method of testing. From the test being administered a bit roughly, by an inexperienced tester and leading to a patient leaving with a slightly bruised sinus or a patient that has an adverse natural reflex to pull away when the swab is placed up in the nose. If people have a choice of being able to spit into a test tube or having a swab placed up their nose I expect that they will definitely choose the spit test over the swab test. Since THRM currently seems to be the only company, currently, with such a test available and just requiring final approval by the FDA it will likely see high demand for the test right out of the gate should the test be approved.

The best part of the release: The Company expects its saliva-based COVID-19 antigen test to become the first rapid test to receive FDA-EUA approval. As AcuVid is an innovative, leading-edge rapid saliva test solution, additional information was required for the FDA-EUA review process.

Yes I agree but .... ...the stock action today doesn't reflect that! I was very surprised we were not back over a $1! I guess you cannot rush greatness! But I was very happy to read this news!
