There is a big difference between a lab test and a robust test that can be pushed out to the public. The lab test (ELISA) involves a lot of sample prep and handling steps either manually or by robot and takes an hour or two to do. I was always rubbish at doing ELISAs for some reason!
What we really want is a ‘stick’ test like a pregnancy test and that’s where we are struggling.
Thanks everyone for providing the links for the Bonn University study. I am looking forward to actual published results but the preliminary results, if correct, sound hopeful
