Texas is 45th in Tests/1m pop, hopefully, we pick up speed very soon.

Conversely, TX is 5th in total tests run so there's that at least.

We're only going to see more and more of that.

Already been a few murders and suicides, and probably others that haven't made national news, to come out of this.

When I watch videos like this I always wonder, 'If this is how someone reacts when they know a camera is on them, how would they react if there wasnt?'

Agree.

Saw a double suicide article this morning where the couple thought they had CV. They shot themselves before the tests came back negative.

It's sad all the way around.

It might sound harsh, but if that's they way they're going to react because they think they have a disease that's going to kill less than .1% of the population I'm not sure it's all that sad.

every death is sad

their vulnerability due to a variety of factors is tragic. I'm not assigning blame, but I am sad about it.

I would take zero reassurance from the markets

they were a month late in reaction. they don't have any special knowledge.

Gottlieb is pushing the testing capacity now because he knows it's what is needed to remove the lockdown

a huge testing push really doesn't do much for you in the middle of a statewide shelter in place, unless there's a more draconian lockdown you to escalate to

I think a higher prevalence of complicating factors in the older population is also a problem. Higher cardiovascular disease rates and diabetic rates.

If we can test and determine who has immunity vs who doesn't we can start getting some people back to work.

Serological testing will also get us much better data on the virus itself. Given the number of mild and asymptomatic cases in the few populations we have tested, the magical modelers are pulling numbers out of their collective arses to make their projections.

BD has an FDA approval for a point of care finger stick test. Not sure how long before they can get that widely deployed.

Please explain your logic here. Multiple people have provided the benefits of testing.

it's highest benefit is as surveillance during early days of the epidemic

there's certainly utility now, but everyone is already locked down

I do grant testing benefit for trying to get early stage cocktails in their optimal use window, but that's not what Gottlieb is saying

he's saying our epidemics are larger than we think. but what additional social distancing would be implemented if we found a larger spread?

it's the hospitalizations that we are watching while we shelter in place. testing capacity will be critical to lift that lockdown, but it's in place for another four weeks.

The shelter in place period is being used not just to slow the spread but as a delaying tactic to build up the testing capacity, PPE and vent stocks, and evaluate treatment options. The real importance of the more robust testing capacity is going to be felt when we start loosening restrictions. And that's even moreso the case if we can establish a treatment regimen in the interim that lessens severity.

Widespread plus quickly available testing will allow for contact tracing which will reduce/slow the spread without the need for as severe of restrictions like shelter in place. That plus a treatment option means we can take the teeth out of this thing.

Shooting anyone with a confirmed test flattens the curve as well, I'm glad I don't live in a communist hell hole.

New York is the last place that should be lecturing the rest of the country given how badly they screwed up plans for a potential pandemic.

OK. This organization just needs to be abolished.

"Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization's Health Emergencies Program, suggested during a March 30 press conference that individuals infected with the Chinese Coronavirus should be removed from their homes to prevent further spread of the deadly disease."
“It ain’t like it used to be.”
