Apparently the CDC has screwed up the “test kit” in numerous ways. First, they made it needlessly complicated by trying to make it test for other SARS-like viruses, and those tests were flagging a large number of false positives. Secondly, labs that are developing their own tests to mirror the CDC are being prohibited from using them due to onerous and absurd requirements like demonstrating their test wouldn’t falsely identify MERS as COVID-19, when MERS samples are nearly impossible to obtain. https://www.propublica.org/article/cdc-coronavirus-covid-19-test https://www.propublica.org/article/cdc-coronavirus-covid-19-...
