That's a $50 home test, which simply insures that most people will not use it frequently. The key aspect of the test Dr. Mina was promoting is it's so cheap that it could be a daily requirement for attending schools or office work.

The other key is that it would be just sensitive enough that it would tell you if you were contagious that day. So it mostly eliminates spread, while minimizing the time somebody has to quarantine. The FDA is fixated on only authorizing tests that say you might be contagious in a couple of days, and that you are no longer contagious but are coughing up dead virus fragments for a couple of weeks. PCR tests are not useful for public health monitoring because they ignore how this virus spreads.

Of course, the FDA and NIH are so negligent, it's killing thousands of people every day: All they tell doctors is they can treat patients with remdesivir, but only for really sick patients when it's almost totally useless. (It might work as early as possible after exposure, but that is too expensive!) They also ignore a mountain of evidence about Vitamin D and ivermectin, which are very effective against Covid-19 and incredibly cheap. Maybe even more effective than the best vaccine!

The doctors behind the MATH+ protocol are not ignoring them. They have a new prophylactic and early treatment protocol I-MASK+ that stresses masks and ivermectin. And they have terrific Real World Evidence to back that up. In 2016, a new law directed FDA to consider RWE outside of clinical trials, but they are not doing that. If they did, our ICUs would be almost empty instead of bursting at the seams.
