He's not. He's hyping his biomedical startup which is trying to make a cheap plasmon covid test. Whether or not he's right, that's sort of right at the HN sweet spot for relevance.
Will it work? God I hope so, but it doesn't seem prudent to bet on it. We know several existing technologies for covid testing that will work. We know they can scale. We know how expensive they are. And while they aren't cheap, we know can afford it at the federal level.
That we still refuse to actually pull the trigger on mass testing and announce a program to fund and launch a universal covid testing regime is just infuriating.
I mean, I desperately hope that a magic bullet like this will pop up to save us. But we know how to beat this. We just won't.
