And expensive means we are doing almost no asymptomatic testing (hospitals mostly refuse because insurance won’t cover it). And it is the asymptomatic spread of this disease that makes it so difficult to contain. But at least high sensitivity is good right? Wrong. 9/ — PolitiTweet.org

The FDA has prioritized tests that are very sensitive and highly accurate. They are also invasive, slow, and expensive. Invasive means people don’t get one unless they absolutely have to. Slow means people often don’t get results for several days and continue to infect others. 8/ — PolitiTweet.org

It turns out that we are likely only contagious a couple days before symptoms and a few days after. With current PCR tests, it’s possible that some people are getting positive results and quarantining long after they stop being contagious. So what is the solution? 10/ — PolitiTweet.org
