Bosch brings a new quick test early April. The kit comes in a cartridge that allows analysis of the sample within 2.5 hours and without external laboratory. It has a reliablity of 95%, which is de3scribed by the WHO as "sufficient" for licensing, and also tests on over half a dozen other lung infections, assisting doctors further to decide for or rule out Corona. If it works like Bosch claims, its pretty much what we need now: a quick and reliable testkit that can be run in every doctor's practice rooms or hospital, drive-in or improvised testing station. Staff does not need extended special training, the kit cartridge works mostly by itself and includes all needed ingredients and agents.


Bosch runs an own medical technology department. Just saying, since this probably is not known by many people. I mean: they have experience with med tech.
