Something is not right with the tests or the administration of the tests. Hopefully very quickly they will get a blood test ready to start using.

When the test was rolled out I believe I read it was 90% accurate whereas the flu test is like 99.99%. One of the concerns from the expert in the article I read was that the drive thru testing could actually be counterproductive because the test was not rock solid and the environment of administrating the test through a drive thru would make it even worse.
