Actually, emphasis on the optimism. The Yale work is really well done. Sensitivity is a little low, but people keep ignoring cost, scalability, frequency and ease. This is what is needed for back to work/school applications and the first test that actually satisfies these criteria imo.

Absolutely really good work. My concern is still that it doesn't seem to solve the qpcr bottleneck. Its great that it gets rid of ena extraction (as someone trying to get enough reagents to do any sort of real work in my lab - I'm all too aware of how much trouble they're saving themselves by cutting out that bit). The pcr part doesn't seem to be addressed though - amd if it isn't (without something like pooling or using something like LAMP) this will just add to the backlog of tests.

On the other hand, will still def second you on the quality of the work. It's some really solid science.
