Abbott's Fast, $5, 15-Minute, Easy-to-Use COVID-19 Antigen Test Receives FDA Emergency Use Authorization; Mobile App Displays Test Results to Help Our Return to Daily Life; Ramping Production to 50 Million Tests a Month - Aug 26, 2020

BinaxNow, while very promising, does not appear to be the same test. Neither the testing method nor the speed of results are the same.

Many independent pharmaceutical companies around the world including Canada are fully engaged to find a COVID-19 vaccine maybe in 2020 or 2021.

What is approved in one country is not necessarily approved in another.

Nobody wants to rush a vaccine to market without proper testing to avoid a recurrence of the Thalidomide disaster of the 1960s.

Canada has seen a doubling of new daily cases in the last month.

Have you noticed a few months back it was covid tragedies that were reported, now in England at the moment its cases because the tragedies have reached a low figure. As of lately we have developed testing for covid so is it any surprise that cases will be on the incline, a bad flu year can kill 600,000 worldwide, covid has not reached 1/6 of that if the statistics as indicated in my previous post are to be believed, yet we lock up the economy world wide at the cost of many millions of jobs.

Canada is a tiny country in terms of population - 37 million. That's less than the population of California - 39 millions.

Canada doesn't have a lot of money compared to the USA. They can't spend the money on research like the USA.

Being #1 has its advantages when it comes to finding solutions.

With that said, I hope Canada does find the vaccine. I'll welcome you to the party.

Yep #1 200,000 dead Americans. 6.7 million infected still #1. Not something to be #1 in.

Updated CDC guidance acknowledges coronavirus can spread through the air


(CNN)The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated guidance on its website to say coronavirus can commonly spread "through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols," which are produced even when a person breathes.

"Airborne viruses, including COVID-19, are among the most contagious and easily spread," the site now says.

Previously, the CDC page said that Covid-19 was thought to spread mainly between people in close contact -- about 6 feet -- and "through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.
