What are we going to do about the COVID-2X and COVID-3X World wide Pandemics?

CliveS:

Thanks Peter,

I can see you prefer full item results to study the virus.  But does identification of the number of carriers help your family or next door neighbours 10 days later.  The article stated 

   "In any event, boosting production of test supplies at a linear rate gives us little hope of matching the demand of unchecked virus spread. The pandemic will not be ended simply by producing more test technology."  

So we need a vaccine now, immediately, or we go for herd immunity, letting nature take its normal course and letting God decide who lives and dies as usual.

I suspect a large number of people, unlike you, actually care if thousands of people die.


The tests in the UK should be delivering results in 24 hours.  They aren't t the moment, which the government needs to sort out.  If we can get it down to a day or two, then people with symptoms - and people who have been exposed to others who have the virus - only need to take a day or two off work.  If they are clear, they can go back to work, school or wherever again.
