POC Testing With Reliability Built-In
SARS-CoV-2 is a highly contagious virus, currently rampaging through every aspect of life worldwide and was designated a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in 2019/2020. It has severely impacted life, healthcare services, and economies in the USA and across the globe.
Therefore, it is vital that people are screened for SARS-CoV-2 and that detections are made accurately through systemic testing on a large scale clinically and asymptomatic Covid-19 cases. We now need to stop the infection and eliminate the transmission of the virus.
Lateral Flow Testing
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay is used to identify SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) by extracting nucleocapsid protein antigens specific to this virus. In lateral flow testing, a swab is taken by a healthcare provider from an individual who is suspected of being infected.
The Importance of Taking A Covid-19 Test
Here is a report from the U.S Press and HHS.gov site.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 2,835,533 U.S. deaths in 2019. Before the pandemic, models projected a slightly higher number, about 2.9 million deaths, for 2020, said Dr. Jeremy Faust, an emergency physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
It’s not a coincidence, he said, that the 400,000 excess deaths closely resemble the number of coronavirus deaths in the U.S., which reached 401,796 as of Wednesday, according to Johns Hopkins data. *1.
