YES, please correct the title!

Per an AP article[1] on the confusion surrounding this issue:

> Companies are supposed to state that their tests have not been FDA-approved and cannot rule out whether someone is currently infected.

I see no language like that in the article. But lots of quotes implying efficacy of the test:

> we no longer have to put health care professionals at risk for infection

> we can preserve precious personal protective equipment

> we can significantly increase the number of people tested each and every day

Sadly, I think we are about to see more of this, as companies jump at the chance to get some PR and stock price bump.
