Coronavirus antibody test with 99% success rate approved for use in Europe
[JPost] - Abbott's coronavirus antibody test, which boasts an accuracy rate of 99%, has received approval for use across Europe, The Independent reported.
Abbott's antibody test had already received Emergency Use Authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at the end of April, the company announced over social media.
That's False positives + False negatives = 0.01. Wow!
Finally, we'll have the facts about asymptomatic & herd immunity - instead of the bull numbers we been getting from NY & Kalifornia.
Finally, we'll know who is safe and can go back to work and who's just fantasizing.
An additional consequence - this (by comparison with Chinese antibody tests) shows that the West is light years ahead of China when it comes to research and innovation. So they better pull their horns in - because the same goes for military tech.
