Why can't I test myself for coronavirus at home?

Coronacast 19 de abril de 2020 14


Background

As getting a test for COVID-19 becomes far easier in Australia, people are starting to wonder why you can’t just do it yourself at home.

On today’s Coronacast, Dr Norman Swan explains while getting tested is easy, making sure you do it properly is a lot harder.

On today’s show:

* When does the virus show up in testing?

* Why can’t I do a test at home?

* If anti-bodies are low in recovered patients, what does that mean for any vaccine?

* What is the latest on vaccines?

* What’s going on with the possible treatment using the drug remdesivir?

And Norman gets a scalding from a three-year-old listener.
