It would be very bold to announce such a thing if it isn't 96.5-99.9% true.
Now just so we're clear -We're not talking treatment here.
We're talking spreading mitigation measures.

And well -I'm just going to leave that here.
But hey anything that can help will help -as long as it's not botched, won't it?

COVID/Swab test: Tells you who IS sick. Keeps key workers from becoming superspreaders. The one needed to flatten the curve/take back control
IgG/IgM antibody tests: Tells you who WAS sick&recovered. Misses ppl who're sick for not long enough. Useful when virus is under control.
Please note tho:
We do not know how long immunity found by IgG/IgM antibody tests will last. We're not even sure there is one -we think there is because it's probable.
Also, if the virus was to mutate, immunity could not be immunity after all.
And it is thought -again, thought- that some people may have been infected twice. They wouldn't be contagious -again, we think.
We *know* so little.
So I think we should focus first on who IS sick.

Someone to tell Nadine that letting asymptomatic key workers know they are infected actually would help stop others catching #coronavirus/cut the number of death?
Hey "Media hype" also tell her that the reason why antibody tests are not enough and swab tests are (urgently) needed
Reposting my "Why different types of tests are needed" thread here 👇
#WhereAreTheTests
What Nadine is showcasing here is how to gaslight you by explaining antibody tests cannot spot asymptomatic contagious carriers, but that is the moment you tell them: "Yes swab tests are the tests needed for that. Where are those tests?"

In New Rochelle, the U.S. has a small glimpse into that life under lockdown — where the app economy has dried up, and the food is delivered in rationed bags by a desperate mobilized force. For America, it will be the National Guard — not the cadres.
New Rochelle High School: "This was the scene today at the sprawling campus that was otherwise quiet as thousands of students are kept out of three of the city's schools in an effort to contain the spread of coronavirus." lohud.com/story/news/loc…
"A [coronavirus] testing site run by Northwell Health was being set up at Glen Island Park this morning. It's expected to begin taking patients on Friday"

"Curbs on transport in Wuhan remain in place, and schools in the province would remain closed until further notice... New infections in Hubei continued to stabilize, with new cases declining for the sixth day. All 13 new cases in Hubei were recorded in Wuhan."
"The [Chinese] economy is still operating at about 25% below its usual levels"
This recent photograph from Wuhan articulates how disconnected from normal life the conditions have become — despite progress in slowing the epidemic and restarting the economy. Food rations are delivered by garbage truck.

“Mr. Xi’s visit comes as China re­ports a steep de­cline in the num­ber of new cases. On Tues­day, Wuhan shut down the last of the 14 tem­po­rary hos­pi­tals that it had built to ac­com­mo­date the sud­den surge of new pa­tients.”
A signal that China can get back to work:
But, despite this victory lap for the Xi presidency, China is very much not back to normal. Those who can leave Hubei will still need to quarantine. Their Alipay health codes will still be red. They’ll still be shunned from society.

"Who wants to go to the dentist or the hospital during an outbreak if a visit isn’t necessary? Yet health spending is 17 percent of the U.S. economy — more than triple the proportion spent in China."
"Agriculture, a sector not noted for day-to-day social interaction and so potentially less harmed by social withdrawal, is a 10 times larger share of China’s economy than it is in the United States."
"For all the talk about the global 'supply shock' set off by the coronavirus outbreak and its impact on supply chains, we may have more to fear from an old-fashioned 'demand shock' that emerges when everyone simply stays home."

The cliché cover photos have even become a meme of sorts for Asian Americans and westerners, with people from many backgrounds throwing their hat into the ring with corona aesthetic ™
Last Monday, a young Singaporean man — Jonathan Mok — was assaulted in an unprovoked hate crime on Oxford Street in London. The men reportedly yelled “I don’t want your coronavirus in my country.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/m… Image
I don't know why the man in Flushing collapsed, but he doesn't look much older than Jonathan Mok, and as we approach this pandemic, I am given a little hope in that — unlike China's lifeless pariahs on the streets — people came to help in America. ImageImage
