This isn’t anything like the cheap tests Mina is advocating for... this test actually has some of electric device that actually runs the test. (The release describes a light going off, but not many details)
That’s better than I expected - but still a far cry from the pennies-each paper strips that families would use to test everyone every morning before leaving for work/school.
So yes, a big step forward, but not yet what Mina had been advocating.
A little-bit-below $50 price range is great as it makes many areas and places able to test, but overall it's still quite expensive. Not everyone is an affluent coastal US developer.
It surely must be pretty expensive.
