I want an Amazon Echo skill to screen anyone before they come to my house :)
Seriously, this is incredibly and if this is verified to work could be a game changer. The real thing we need to do is all get tested at once on the same day at the same time. Then those who are positive need to isolate for 2-3 weeks until they are negative again. That would completely reset us back to nearly zero. Then do this again 2-3 times and we could shove this demon back into the bottle.
Yeah we would need to do daily testing too. The main problem is that (a) it takes 3-5 days for the infection to become detectable and (b) it takes 1-5 days to get your test results back. So for 4-10 days you are contagious and don’t know it. Instant testing like this that works before symptoms means you could detect the infection soon as it takes hold, significantly reducing the spread rate. If our traditional testing was all rapid we would be a lot better off. Well that, and leadership that isn’t solely concerned with its own reelection in a pointless bid for staying out of prison. Both would be good.
