re: #79 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
CDC designed and released a flawed test. Private Industry would design and release a test that costs $X to produce but sells at $250X because it is a monopolyâŚ
The problem seems to at least partially be that they never actually âreleasedâ it. Thatâs one of Californiaâs complaints, that the major labs in the UC system arenât allowed to do the tests. Although I have to admit Iâm not sure exactly what âallowedâ means in this context. Whether the CDC had some legal / intellectual property claim that controlled this testing or whether they simply wouldnât pay for them to be conducted at outside facilities, I donât know.
