Americans Are Noticing Something Odd About the Wuhan Coronavirus Tests Biden Sent Out

Further cold winter weather, which the administration didn't factor in when sending tests through the Postal Service, has invalidated a countless number of tests.
Most at-home COVID-19 test brands recommend storing the tests above 35 degrees. The liquid reagent inside the cartridge that comes with the at-home tests is susceptible to freezing, and if that happens, the accuracy of the results decreases, Cindy Prins, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Florida, told USA TODAY.
"Just as anything with liquid, if it's chilled or frozen, it changes. That's the same with these at-home tests," Baird said. "At a time where temperatures are freezing in most places, it's safer to choose another test."
Dr. Geoffrey Baird, chair of laboratory medicine and pathology at the University of Washington's School of Medicine, said the issue with the at-home tests is that if the liquid inside the cartridge is frozen, the results can be skewed.
Most studies have found a change in the temperature of the at-home test may result in a false-negative test rather than a false-positive, she added. ...

From the link ...
While many Americans still haven't received their tests, some that DID, noticed they are made in China.
:ohmy:
What a surprise ... NOT!

On paper, most of the test kits are from iHealth Labs, but they are a US subsidiary of Andon Health, a Chinese company, who actually manufacture the test kits ( https://news.yahoo.com/chinas-andon-health-supply-home-005352302.html ). From their webpage about the test kits, https://ihealthlabs.com/ :
The manufacturer of the iHealth® COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test requires test kits be stored at temperatures between 36o and 86oF (2o - 30oC). Any extended exposure of the test kit to temperatures beyond this range may affect quality of test results.
