Coronavirus antibody tests have "really terrible" accuracy, researcher says cnn.com/2020/04/28/hea… // There's no doubt FDA, CDC, NIH, FEMA all messed up in January/February. Fast tracking 100 "tests" created a worse situation as efforts weren't coordinated, focused, or reliable.
Detailed study testing the tests which showed among the poor results:
1 test > 15% false +
3 tests > 10% false +
5 tests ~ 5% false +
only 3 < 1% false +

(noting a 1% false + rate leads to a coin toss level reliability) dropbox.com/s/cd1628cau092…
The absence of regulation can create a situation where we are operating with a level of chaos and unreliability across a system that can take much longer to rectify than if efforts were corrected and managed. Yes that's an IF, but this chaos was not an "if" as it was certain too.

A strength of a good product organization is sticking with product investments long enough to get them right and make them work. Too often in a "move fast" world, persistence of vision is something that has been lost. Most every Microsoft product you can name went through this…
Even (!) Microsoft Excel took three tries (aka "versions") before it was reviewed as a strong product (1.0 was only on Mac, 2.x was both Win and Mac, as was 3.0). Here's Esther Dyson, famed investor and writer, reviewing Excel 3.0 in April 1991.
Here's the full review. Worth reading just to learn about how artificial intelligence was viewed 30 years ago. Funny to think back to when double-clicking on a column to automatically size it was an invention and of course toolbars were new as well.

Much is being said about the role of WHO and China in the pandemic (please don't say "who"…W H O). There's a misunderstanding of how WHO works. While there are challenges, in many ways some are structural and would put more burden on forces outside of WHO. Some thoughts… 1/ WHO logo
2/ I spent a lot of time with WHO over years both directly & indirectly. They're big consumers of tech. I'm no expert or diplomat but have direct experience.

I first worked with WHO early 2000s (!). I pulled up my trip report I wrote for Bill (just a couple years into vaccines.)
3/ I spent almost 3 days there. One system I learned about was "EMS" or Event Management System (long since gone I'm sure). It was a desktop database that tracked all the communication about an outbreak or other global health event.

Seems like an obvious and necessary component.
