Congratulations are in order for the men and women of the BioFrontiers Institute at the University of Colorado Boulder. They have developed a portable, saliva-based, COVID-19 test that is able to return results within forty-five minutes. As July gives way to August and millions of families across the United States grapple with whether to allow their sons and daughters to return to school in September - and countless school districts, colleges, and universities do the same - a COVID-19 test that is easy to administer and that returns a result in less than an hour has a practical application.
Between my undergraduate studies in political science, my pursuit of my J.D. in law school, and my career in the law, you could fill a thimble with what I know and understand about how this test works and still have ample room for your thumb. Rather than try to explain it, I simply direct your attention here so you can learn firsthand from the people who developed it.
As someone who has been proud to be a Colorado Buffalo for three-plus decades, I applaud the critically important work that is being done by CU's great minds, including the good folks of the BioFrontiers Institute. Knowledge trumps ignorance. It always has.
For the sake of all of us, including my five grandchildren (the oldest of whom is only three years old), its winning streak had best continue.
