therefore every test results, whether positive or negative was funneled into state health departments, so we had a very accurate report of how many people were tested, where they were, and what test results were. the home tests have shown us that is no longer the case, because people, as you say, are testing at home and they are not reported in a central database. that is one of the reasons that the cdc is focused more on hospitalizations. of course that is the most severe disease that impacts the stress on the health care system the most, so it has the greatest public health impact. so the hospitalization data continues to be much more accurate than the testing data, but the information we have, if you squint at it, don't count each and every number, you can get a general pattern of what is happening across the country. host: how confident are you in the accuracy of home tests, because i will tell you that my primary physician when i went to her earlier, she was like, you can use a home test but it won't tell you anything nick be positive or negative. that he will have to get a pcr t

you can get them at the local health department. all you have to do is place the test strip in a container that contains the drug that you're playing to use, and it will alert you as to whether fentanyl is contained in that particular drug. if so, for sure. do not use it. because it's certainly going to be deadly. i think that there are other mechanisms, though that are useful naloxone is you know, also known as narcan is a useful, useful reversal agent that everyone needs to know about it and have access to doctor this day is about awareness and education. so in that vein, what would be your message to lawmakers and those making decisions about the need to address the fentanyl crisis head on? well i think first of all, we have to make sure that we cut down on those that are manufacturing fence nail illegally in the united states and also selling it illegally. and then to we need to make sure that we educate young adults on the dangers of the use of fentanyl. i mean, this is 80 to 100 times more potent than morphine. it can lead to
