I would like to talk about rapid tests.
As mentioned earlier, it's good to have antivirals, but we have a problem if we don't have access to rapid tests and the antivirals are not very effective after five days.
I would like to know when Merck's antiviral will be approved. It has already been purchased and this was filed in August. If it hasn't been approved yet, is it because there is a problem?
Why don't we trust what the experts say about rapid tests? We could produce a lot more of them if, on a temporary and extraordinary basis, we allowed some of the rapid tests that have been approved in other countries. Why don't we do that here? We have the antivirals now, but they have to be administered quickly to be effective.
