The FDA just issued an alert informing the public about "possible accuracy concerns" to this Abbott rapid test.

And price gouging by Cepheid for the better tests:
There has been controversy around Cepheid's test-cartridge pricing. Cepheid announced that they would charge US$19.80 per COVID-19 test in developing countries[4][29] (prices are higher in middle-income countries; for instance, GeneXpert TB tests cost $55-$82 per cartridge in Indonesia[29]). Doctors without borders stated that that price was not affordable in countries where people live on less than two dollars a day.[4][29] They estimated[5] that the cost to Cepheid of providing the test is as low as $3, and called the offered price profiteering, asking that Cepheid make a more moderate profit by selling the tests for US$5 each.[29][4][6]
The Treatment Action Group (TAG) seconded this request, saying that the development of the tests, and their purchase and global deployment, has been done with public funds, while the owners of Cepeid made profits of $3 billion in 2019. They requested the same price reduction for all the tests using the same technique, including HIV, tuberculosis, and Hepatitis C, as the costs are similar regardless of the disease (see above).[30] They pointed out that the cartridges for testing for COVID-19 were twice the price of nearly-identical cartridges for tuberculosis, as of March 2020.[16] The International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease also gave public support.[25][31] Some dozens of organizations worldwide had joined the “Time for $5” campaign as of October 2019.[32][30]

This was predicted by me and a lot of other people.
Test-kit shysters running amok.

One accidental "Mr. President, you're okay," might end up being the greatest occurrence in human history.
