Why are rapid tests for COVID-19 in such short supply? --Explainer

Mon, 2022-01-10 19:19 — mike kraft

Backround on why rapid tests for COVID-19 are in such short supply

County have been overwhelmed by mile-long lines, with some events canceled due to traffic. Some would-be self-testers have resigned themselves to driving between CVS and Walgreens locations, hoping to snag a kit at a reasonable price.

Companies are racing to fulfill the excess demand.

Abbott Laboratories, which makes the BinaxNOW rapid antigen test, expects to produce 70 million tests this month and is working to raise that to 100 million, said CEO Robert Ford.
