Thứa quý vị hôm trước Kd có nói sẽ tìm hiểu thêm về vụ BS Michael Đào thử nghiệm corona. Hôm nay có thêm thông tin chỉ muốn chia sẻ với quý vị. Kd xin viết tiếp bằng tiếng Anh vì chuyện xét nghiệm này chỉ ảnh hưởng đến những người ở Mỹ và viết tiếng Anh dễ hơn cho Kd vì có nhiều từ chuyên môn không biết nói bằng tiếng Việt.
So the issue of Dao Medical Group conducting testing boils down to two main issues:
1). Does Dao Medical Group have the legal approval from the FDA to conduct such a test?
2). Is the test kit legit and reliable?
The FDA has determined that this is a serology test and a medical provider can administer this test as long as they post a disclaimer according to the FDA guide line (we were referred to this section by an FDA agent over the phone). I went on Dao Medical Group’s FB and saw that they did post such a disclaimer as required by FDA.
(Taken from Dao Medical Group FB)
“Hello everyone,
We couldn't wait for our EUA approval, so we called FDA all day. We just got off the phone with FDA at about 7 pm tonight 3/22/2020.
Good news, since the test we offer is a serology test, we don't need to wait for EUA (Emergency Use Authorization), as long as we post a disclaimer that FDA gives us.
This test has not been reviewed by the FDA.
Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in those who have been in direct contact with the virus. Follow-up testing with a molecular diagnostic should be considered to rule out infection in these individuals.
Results from antibody testing should not be used as the sole basis to diagnose or exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection or to inform infection status.
Positive results may be due to past or present infection with some non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains.
In addition, the FDA agent even told us that yes Korean FDA has a very high standard.
We will still proceed with the plan (if we get our 2,000 kits shipment tomorrow):
FREE-OF-CHARGE COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Gold test kit, if you cannot afford it (honest system)-Starting Tuesday 3/24/2020 (if the 2,000 kits arrive).
WE DECIDE TO DO THIS TEST FOR PATIENTS/PEOPLE WITH SOME RISKS (PEOPLE WHO WORK with THE PUBLIC, WORK IN DELIVERY BUSINESS, ELDERLY PATIENTS AT RISK, and AMD Medical Plaza's patients will get more priority because we know them and their medical histories).
FREE-OF-CHARGE COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Gold test kit, if you can't afford it (honest system).
$49/KIT DONATION if you can afford it, SO WE CAN BE ABLE TO ORDER MORE KITS.
DO NOT COME TO OUR CLINIC to get tested WITH NO APPOINTMENT.
WILL NOT DO THE TEST IF YOU HAVE NO APPOINTMENT, and the police may fine you for violating the "stay home" law.
WE CAN SEND SOME KITS TO verified NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FREE-OF-CHARGE.
IF YOU ARE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, WE CAN SEND THE KITS TO YOU AT $30/KIT.
YOU HAVE TO CALL US FIRST 714-899-2000 TO HAVE APPOINTMENT.
IF SOMEONE IN THE FAMILY TESTED POSITIVE, MUST CALL US AND WE WILL PROVIDE TEST KIT(S) FREE-OF-CHARGE TO THE ENTIRE IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS (up to 5 kits) WHO LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE. SOMEONE from the family must come to pick up the test KITS.
Limited to 2,000 kits at this time.”
2). Is the test kit legit and effective?
The latest news is that the FDA has allowed this igG/igM Rapid test to be distributed and use across the country.
Thông tin mới nhất FDA đã cho dùng igG/igM Rapid Test (loại test nói trên) và rất nhiều hãng hiện đang cho ra cả trăm ngàn bộ test đó để dùng khắp nơi trên nước Mỹ! Thông tin từ Reuter’s.

In this YouTube clip posted 3 days ago, https://youtu.be/RVkKlBftOSw The Governor of Colorado just ordered 100,000 of the same test kit from China instead of from Korea which is used by Dao Medical. Essentially they work the same and can show the result in 2 to 10 minutes.
Sau khi đã tìm hiểu kỹ hơn, Kd xin lỗi bs Michael Dao và cám ơn BS đã luôn lo lắng sức khỏe cho gia đình Kd.
Một lần nữa mục đích post về đề tài này là để giúp những ai đó khi cần, lúc này là lúc nương tựa nhau để cùng vượt qua đại dịch chứ không phải để gây ân oán ganh ghét nhau.
