(00:47) So there are a lot of tests on the market now for detecting COVID-19 can you tell us what the main categories of these tests are? (01:30) Let's delve into those a little bit more. Let's start with the molecular test. Can you explain to our audience how that works? (03:32) Because there's so many different types of PCR tests out there right now, can you tell us a little bit about the differences and specifically how these different types of tests may compare to one another in terms of accuracy and turnaround time? (06:12) Dr. Binnicker, can you tell us when and how physicians can use PCR to diagnose patients with COVID-19?(08:00) So it sounds like, again, just to confirm, the PCR test is really for diagnosing that patient during that early stage when they have symptoms?(08:55) Can you tell us more about serologic testing and how that works? (09:53) So when would you use serology? (10:57) So can you just summarize just for our audience again, how these two tests work together?
