Thermo Fisher Corona Virus Tests No Good

Coronavirus tests made by Thermo Fisher return false negative AND false positive results, FDA warns

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning that a coronavirus test kit may return 'inaccurate results.'
Health officials said on Monday there are two issues with the TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit produced by laboratory equipment company Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Firstly, the test, which detects the virus in respiratory samples, has had numerous complaints of false positive results due to not mixing specimen well enough.
Secondly, the software that clinicians use to the run the test is out-of-date causing results to come back as either false or inconclusive.
It comes on the heels of reports of more than 100 tests used in Connecticut and Kentucky revealed to be false positives.
