Testing is the key.

[OAITW r.2.0]

All Americans need to sign up. Do the necessary testing that helps figure this virus out. Get tested.

If not sick / not infected...why?
If not sick/infected......whats your tracking profile?
If sick/infected......what's your tracking profile?

The faster we provide individual data, the better we can target response.

1. I wish they could deploy home tests like pregnancy test

for quick screening.

2. K&R, Us is testing less than 5k/1 mil while S Korea, Germany, HK are testing at 10 - 15k/mil

... we are very far behind.

If everything was perfect tomorrow we would still need ongoing 1% of population tested on top of symptomatic to get back to normal.

WHO said "test test test" ... the country that put a man on the moon is far behind this edict

3. US Healthcare has a system in place to do this.

We don't have a Federal Executive branch leadership to make this happen.

4. Might be awhile. Delaware just got a shipment of 5K tests

for our population of 980K, and we're a small state.

6. How would that work?

I thought random tests would be better and that maybe they could set up place like in a store where people could sign up. Maybe don’t allow more than a couple of people at a time?

What would the right way to do that be?

How many random tests per million would be needed for good data?

Is there enough testing supply? How many tests for good enough data?

7. Baby steps, right now we don't even have nationwide unrestricted testing for the symptomatic

[Midnightwalk]

8. Agree with first things first but

How many would have to be diverted to track infection rates better? Or is there enough data from the number of negatives

I’m not even sure if better data would help any policy decisions. Maybe it would tell us something useful for the next wave?

Or are all the tests still being used in effect to tell healthcare workers which patients are infectious?
