Additional precautions to be taken when it appears that something is emerging.

I think it's probably more accurate and rapid molecular products that are able to be used closer to the point of care.

And those products may be being able to test for more than one respiratory, so multiplexed, being able to test for more than one respiratory product at a time.

Those are available now in certain laboratories, but moving closer to the point of care and being able to be utilized in urgent cares or even retail outlets.

If you see clinics in those research outlets, even in those environments, the more accurate testing can be moved closer to the patient there.

Well, unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the exact cost of those.

Only what I see when I go, I don't know what they are.

in other locations.

But I've seen some over-the-counter products, even those that test for both COVID and flu, to test for about $25.

Well, I think they all work in similar ways.

It's more when you get to those tests that are conducted either in your physician's office or in urgent care where choices can be made to utilize either more accurate tests or more rapid tests depending on what the needed workflow in that environment is.

Yeah, certainly.

I think one of the key take-home messages that I would say is that it is possible to minimize the spread of respiratory illnesses during the back-to-school season, but it's about more than managing the symptoms of the individual patients.

It's about staying ahead of them.

So by combining rapid diagnostics and data, illness outbreaks can be identified and then impacts on communities

can be diminished through timely diagnosis, accurate treatment, and all of that to prevent the spread of that and ballooning into larger seasonal outbreaks, especially protecting, with a goal in mind to help protect those vulnerable communities as well.
