    Veredus Laboratories announces the development of a detection kit for Wuhan Coronavirus as of January 25, 2020.  According to a recent BT report, the VereCoV detection kit is expected to be commercially available by Feb 1 this year. So, does anyone know what are the sensitivity and specificity of the test kit that is used for the numbers of positive cases in the press, the WHO, and from CDC? Is even the same or any kit used? If it is known then no one knows who is positive and who is negative, and then it is uncertain if anything is serious or not.
