Dr. Michael Mina from the Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health answer questions about how cheap (approx. $1), at-home, COVID-19 tests (results in 15 minutes) could be utilized to dramatically slow the spread of this pandemic (and open up schools etc. in a faster and safer way).

Dr. Mina's research has shown that the sensitivity of these "daily quick tests" (the technology already exists) is high enough to detect the vast majority of infectious COVID-19 and could be utilized frequently at home. These antigen tests only require a nasal or saliva sample.

We've read your comments (from Update 98, and at MedCram.com) for COVID testing questions to ask Dr. Mina. Please watch MedCram Update 98 for context on Dr. Mina's work: [ Ссылка ]
