4/24 briefing: that was short! Question on junk tests -- anyone got thoughts on it?
The new doctor -- the one who spent a lot of time yesterday talking out his thought process to decide that the critter that causes COVID-19 is a virus -- today he answered a question about "junk" tests by saying that there were many tests out there, under self-certification.
Self-certified sounds nice but I am not sure I trust it. A lot of people will think they are being tested but are doing no better than what they can find in a horoscope. Those of you who have been around the labs -- am I sneering unnecessarily at these tests?
