New antigen test for the Fall from iHealth - FluA/FluB/COVID - $40 for 4 pack on Amazon. Progress.

Europeans have a quad test called Fluorecare (FluA, FluB, RSV, COVID) for $2.50 per test.

DJ As an example; cost per 4-in-1 test ex tax=2,44 (In NL including tax=2.95€ -but larger amount=lower price, if you buy 1500 of those tests 20% discount = 2,36€ per set including tax).

Hoping @US_FDA
 @FDAcdrhIndustry
 & @ASPRgov
 @HHS_ASPR
 will lean forward strategically & make Fluorecare 4-in-1 tests available in the U.S. asap. 
Awesome if ASPR sends combo tests for free in Sept

Combo tests for $2.50 would be game changer for respiratory infections & save lives

DJ, Governments should buy billions of those kinds of tests...flu A or B, CoViD and RSV...
It may be to early to go for Mpox testing this way...

Since governments don't do their job-just create wars-consumergroups can play a role...
