The main purpose of social distancing rules is not to keep us from catching COVID-19. It's to keep the infection rate below our medical system's ability to respond. When this is all over most of us will have been infected.

I think 5-10 million Americans already have the virus. If I’m wrong, it may be way more than that.

"JERSEY, Channel Islands, April 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quotient Limited (NASDAQ:QTNT), a commercial-stage diagnostics company (the Company), headquartered in Eysins, Switzerland, today announced the completion of the development phase of a microarray based SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) antibody test for the fully automated high throughput MosaiQ system in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. One MosaiQ instrument can process up to 3000 antibody tests per day."

"We anticipate that a commercially ready research-use-only (RUO) product in Europe will be available as early as next week,” said Franz Walt, Chief Executive Officer of Quotient."

Full Disclosure: Yes, I own some, but that's not the point.

Question 1: Will this be legislated into Law?
Question 2: Will citizens continue to allow the Government to pick winners and losers?

Antibody testing shows herd immunity is on the way.

A key point is that the goal of this entire thing has been to keep the number of cases needing hospitalization from exceeding hospital capacity and crashing the system.

Based on the numbers out of New York, our hottest hot spot, it’s MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Keeping people from catching it is not realistic. Our goal should be to protect the most vulnerable and react quickly to those who do need treatment.

Antibody testing 350 million people is likewise not a realistic goal.

The REAL goal: you will not be able to work, or buy or sell if you don’t have an antibody identification card.
