Test Everyone?

I think I heard that so far 5 million people have been tested in the USA and this is after a herculean effort to get more test machines and test kits distributed. How the hell does he expect to test *everyone* biweekly as a condition for people to go back to work? I am not even sure if it would be legal to mandate the tests. Make that "$100 *billion* program, not $100 million. I commented on the $100 million. So how many tests can a person get for $300? |

Yeah $100Billion sounds right but if you are just looking for active cases you are wasting your money. In real life sample antibody testing is all you need anyway. You can make projections from there. They are still watching the people with antibodies to be sure they really are immune, If not, it may shoot the hell out of the plans for a vaccine. Most vaccines are far from perfect anyway. Your average flu vaccine is 50-75% effective. |

Some suspects don’t cooperate. |

Some suspects don’t cooperate. Why would we think this corona virus is any different? There is at least one expert's opinion that I read that a vaccine for covid-19 (being a corona type virus) may be impossible to develop. Apparently, it has been tried before for the general category of this type of virus and all attempts have been unsuccessful. It's not a H1N1 type virus. The common cold is a corona virus and we know how that works. This might just be another seasonal thing that we have to live with. I assume the more antibodies we develop over time, the less this will affect us. Maybe that is why so many people shake this off so easily, they have had hundreds of colds and beat them all, leaving trails of antibodies behind. |

Gosh, I didn't know we knew what percentage of Americans had contracted COVID-19, what percentage of those had only mild symptoms, what percentage had no symptoms, and how antibodies, if you have them, work against COVID-19. But, then, I'm not an amateur epidemiologist like you are. You should be on Trump's panel, as you have so many answers to what is still pretty much unknown. Are you in Lee County, with 961 known cases and 37 deaths so far? Last time I checked, we have about 130 known cases here in Calvert, with 7 deaths. -- MAGA - Manipulating America's Gullible Assholes |

Coronavirus being about 20%. Lots are Rhinovirus. I thought before a little research that most colds were Rhinovirus, but only a percentage are. |
