It seems the biggest issue the US has with a pandemic is we’re so damn big and slow moving it’s hard to pivot very quickly.

The above further speaks to the flaws in the PCR test and suggest only by calibrating the test to be far less sensitive would it be truly useful for what many would think it should be telling us. |

It makes no sense to have a test that isn't perfect but will signal that someone who might have some or no symptoms needs a PCR test within 30 minutes of of an initial test administration to confirm whether or not they're actually infected with C-19?

So it’s too specific in catching stuff which is great as a diagnostic tool but not great in that it doesn’t really tell you if you are actively infected or not or if you’re infectious as we now know (and have always) that you’re the most infectious at high titers. The antigen test actually works better imo for what we need right now |

Since we seeing more schools get infections\spreads especially in Georgia a teacher from Olathe has created a spreadsheet to keep track of it all.

The covid test station here in my county in NorCal are nasal/nostril swabs......not the ones that go way back that feel like brain ticklers. The test station we went to also made a crack that in a few weeks the tests will consist of spitting on a piece of paper with instant results.

But beside the scientific limitations of coming up with something quicker, it doesn't seem to me that the public health apparatus has decided we need something quicker than PCR. |
