We’re excited to have Dr. Mina from the Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health on MedCram to answer questions about innovative COVID-19 testing – and learn more about how cheap, at-home, rapid COVID-19 paper antigen tests could allow schools and more parts of our communities to open up in a significantly safer way. We’ll be reading your comments (from Update 98, and at MedCram.com) for COVID-19 testing questions to ask Dr. Mina. Please watch MedCram Update 98 for context on Dr. Mina’s work: https://youtu.be/h7Sv_pS8MgQ
