This doc Michael Mina has a good point - regular PCR tests are inconvenient and expensive. $1 tests would have changed the entire dynamic. You could do it often, and take measures if it turns positive. Right now, by the time the PCR test comes back positive, it’s all over. Either the person is very sick, or recovered - either way, the period of the highest viral replication and excretion is long gone. But, it seems, the bureaucrats won’t allow it. Same thing for antibody testing - they have the technology to make them cheap and simple, for home use. harvardmagazine.com I used to follow this guy, but, it seems, he deleted his twitter account. Can’t find him anymore.
