Dozens of coronavirus antibody tests on the market were never vetted by the FDA, leading to accuracy concerns
Aggressive marketing of the tests could confuse those clamoring for the products to determine who may have developed disease-fighting antibodies By Laurie McGinley April 19, 2020 at 6:30 a.m. MDT The Food and Drug Administration, which was harshly criticized for being slow in authorizing tests to detect the coronavirus, has taken a strikingly different approach to antibody tests, allowing more than 90 on the market without prior review, including some that are being marketed fraudulently and are of dubious quality, according to testing experts and the agency itself. Antibody, or serological, tests are designed to identify people who may have overcome covid-19, including those who had no symptoms, and developed an immune response. They are not designed to detect active infections. Some officials tout the blood tests as a way to reopen the economy by identifying individuals who have developed immunity and can safely return to work. But many scientists, as well as the World Health Organization, say evidence is lacking that even high-quality antibody tests can prove someone has immunity to the novel coronavirus. Now, the emergence of dozens of tests never reviewed by the FDA — many of which are being aggressively marketed — could confuse doctors, hospitals, employers and consumers clamoring for the products, according to critics who say the agency’s oversight has been lax. The questions are taking on special importance as federal and state officials debate various strategies, including using serological testing, to help determine when they can end state and local lockdowns. “A test is only as good as its results,” said Kelly Wroblewski, director of infectious disease programs at the Association of Public Health Laboratories, which has been urging the FDA to take a close look at the unapproved antibody tests. “Having many inaccurate tests is worse than having no tests at all.” Prodded by such concerns, the FDA recently has stepped up warnings and is joining other agencies, including the National Cancer Institute, to try to determine whether the unvetted tests actually work. continues here i think for free: https://www.washingtonpost.com/healt...avirus-review/ |

It’s all good! Interactive Sick Map Of America Vegas Wants To Open By Memorial Day Weekend......the casinos will be worth keeping an eye on, at least that first month. Locally, a politico website is hinting that ONLY 1 of every 5 restaurants will reopen. Also suggesting a major lull in groceries and produce ever reaching grocery store shelves due to distribution centers closing down. It’s going to be an interesting week! |
I made my cellar waterproof and stocked it full with 50 gallon of oil. My neighbor who lives on ground floor is not happy when I told him it's best that he stopped smoking
Oil crash explained: How are negative oil prices even possible? |

Growing up along the carcinogenic coast (Lake Charles, Louisiana to Texas City which is between Houston and Galveston), refineries are a way of life. It’s the lifeblood for the surrounding communities. So many of my Uncles and cousins are working for / retired from oil companies. Things are dire with ominous predictions with oil expected to possibly climb to $10 per barrel by sometime in May. If the crash continues, we can expect massive layoffs as refineries reduce down to mothball operations......small to medium size refineries/oil companies may file for bankruptcy. The trickle down impact for cities and counties who are so largely dependent on tax revenue for operating expenses will be greatly impacted. We could experience a true depression! |

It's nice to know trickle-down politics work when it sucks for everybody.

Conspiracy theorists burn 5G towers claiming link to virus
LONDON (AP) — The CCTV footage from a Dutch business park shows a man in a black cap pouring the contents of a white container at the base of a cellular radio tower. Flames burst out as the man jogs back to his Toyota to flee into the evening. You know what, fuck it, let the fucking virus kill us all. The human race doesn't deserve this planet. |

Hey WTF? Dutchland is now suddenly part of London? Hell no! brexit conspiracy!!! Let's blame Woody Harrelson
It's been going on for the past week, about a dozen phone towers have been set on fire as well as some just over the border in Belgium, and in the UK. And what's the best part about it? We don't have 5G yet!!!!!! And if you notice that it's been set on fire, you can't call the emergency services to report that the tower is on fire because the tower is on fire. Anyway we do have some new measurements announced: all public events are suspended until 1 September, so including sport competitions, festivals etc. But kids in primary schools will soon be going to school. Nobody cares if they get sick, no that's not it. Kids have far littler chance of getting sick and spreading the virus. |
