Assuming the test itself is accurate. Been reading about too many false negatives and false positives with regards to the COVID-19 tests. What makes anyone think an antibody test is going to be any more accurate?
Large scale testing for the disease itself and for it’s anti-bodies would go a long way toward moving things along.
So you’re not denying that testing has helped Taiwan keep its economy open?
I stopped reading at this point. Mr. Forbes, your hyperbole is underwhelming. Go screw yourself. Get the F'n government out of healthcare, business and personal lives. We'll take care of ourselves. Everything the government touches becomes broken.
“Also how long does it take for the test to be done. Days? A week?”

No I’m not. I also know what evil scheming scumbags the rats and their media allies are and they will pervert the testing for their own wicked ends.
Of course, anything now being put out by our “scientists, health ‘professionals,” etc. I tend to place up there with anything coming out by the FBI, ATF, IRS and any “government civil servants!”
“Ever notice that Dr Birx and Fauci don’t talk up the need for mass testing?”
Actually they’ve wished for that from the start. We can’t do mass testing because we don’t have millions of testing kits to spare. There’s only been enough to test those displaying Covid symptoms.
Taiwan & South Korea testing everyone is like the U.S. testing 2 states.
Population Taiwan = 24 million
Pop. South Korea = 51 million
Population Texas = 29 million
Population California = 40 million
Population United States = 328 million
So you’re not denying that testing has helped Taiwan keep its economy open?”
“””No I’m not. I also know what evil scheming scumbags the rats and their media allies are and they will pervert the testing for their own wicked ends.”””
At least you admit that testing can work to free an economy.
That’s good. So each doctors office would have one...
“””In the daily White House briefing, we should hear updates on the number of tests performed, the major barriers to scaling up testing and what the White House is doing to remove them. “””
If the ‘learned’ professor, who wrote this story and actually listened to Trump’s press conferences, was up-to-date he would know that last Friday Dr Birx among other things said that a whole lot of STATE RUN UNIVERSITIES have a lot of testing equipment that is NOT being used for COVID testing.
The ‘learned’ professor is probably using the testing equipment at his university to check monkey semen to see how many have MIV.
The ‘learned’ professor even misquoted the current number of tests being down each day. I believe the USA is currently around 300,000 per day.
Actually they’ve wished for that from the start. “
Not true. I listen to them every day. Birx has said again and again that only a few people - those with advanced symptoms - need to be tested. Fauci says very little that can be clearly restated, he talks in circles — except about the need to keep the economy closed; he’s very clear about that.
The Birx plan for very limited testing means we have to keep everybody away from work, because we never know who has the virus. How convenient.
Oh, yeah -- that will go over well. Civil rights and labor rights attorneys will be all over that first one.
And just wait until the full racial profile of COVID-19 patients is published, showing that racial minorities make up a disproportionate number of COVID-19 cases. Yeah, that will really help that mandatory testing stand up in a court of law.
And on top of all that, just consider that the Civil Rights Act and Americans with Disabilities Act may even be used to REQUIRE employers to hire COVID-19 patients.
You clearly haven't thought this thing all the way through.
As a business owner who has worked in senior management roles in the past, I can tell you that the LAST thing I generally ever want is to know the medical condition of my staff ... because once I know someone is defective, I am: (1) forced by law to do something about it, or (2) prohibited by law from doing something about it. And what makes the whole legal landscape so infuriating is that I usually find myself in a position where I am PROHIBITED from doing something under one law that I am FORCED to do under another law.
'Eff that sh!t. Go away.
“That’s good. So each doctors office would have one”

I’d make them home test kits.
Oh, yeah — that will go over well. Civil rights and labor rights attorneys will be all over that first one.”
I don’t think so. Businesses already can block you from coming in if you can spread disease, say by having no shoes on. They can already demand drug testing for job applicants.
You don’t believe private businesses should have this freedom? You believe they should be compelled to hire people who won’t take a test to show they aren’t virus carriers?
If you must subject yourself to a mandatory test in order to work or to do business, then your economy ain't free no matter how many egg rolls and chopsticks you can buy.
At least you admit that testing can work to free an economy.”
Ahem..At least.
Fauch said that testing is only a snapshot in time.
That you’d have to test, daily, as a negative person could become positive.
Fauch said that testing is only a snapshot in time.
Yes, he’s been pooh-poohing testing. How convenient, without mass testing we have mass house-incarceration.
