@krnel, Thanks for this, it is a meaningful chunk of information for what is going on "Right Now". Couple of things to consider when it comes to the CDC and the FDA, (1) the CDC is the worlds largest holder of medicinal patents and (2) they are NOT a part of the US gov't.
A viable test for a "New" virus takes anywhere from 3 to 7 months to develop and can take up to a year to develop a viable vaccine for that virus. remember, the have to incubate and grow a BUNCH of the virus in order for it to die then the proteins can be used to develop the specific vaccine.
For the inner workings of the CDC you need look no further than the way they handle "Flu Shots" every year. The CDC acknowledges that they do a "best guess" when it comes to a "Seasonal flu shot" because they DO NOT have a viable sample, yet, so you have about a 10% chance of getting a shot that is close enough to do any good and only about 18% of the recipients actually get any benefit from the shot.
So, accurate test now? that would be "NO", FDA releasing a vaccine for testing, that would be "only in your dreams" from our government.
Mitch,
