RE: Mass antibody testing is stated Gov policy27 Jun 2020 14:05
Completely agree Snowking, complacency is fast becoming the enemy and Covid will take advantage. The true mortality rate will not be known for some time but it's at least 1% based on what we know already based on surveillance testing and recorded deaths. A second wave is very likely in the autumn and you can see that people are preparing for it. Test test test is the WHO mantra for a reason, but you need capacity, something we lacked badly in March, next time round Odx will be ready and others. Until a vaccine or major breakthrough in treatment (more likely) comes this disease will need to be managed. Test track trace, quarantine and lock downs for the inevitable outbreaks will become common place unfortunately.
