That is stupid. I would expect a test or they can eat the $35k minimum that the treatment costs.

Early optimism over remdesivir really seems to have flamed out quickly. I think they're still progressing with clinical trials but those seem to be pro forma as much as anything. I get out of my depth pretty quickly reading this stuff but it seems that a LOT of eggs are going into the HC/Z-Pack basket because there just hasn't been much in the way of repeatable results elsewhere.

But right now there's still a backlog and those 'instant read' sort of tests seem to be trickling through at best. From what I can see the vast majority of results are in the 4 day range still for a variety of reasons. With that being the case you still only test the clearly symptomatic (or, IMO, healthcare professionals) and realize that in the 4 days it'll take to get a result on the rest, your hand will have already likely been played for you. For the vast VAST majority of those cases they'll have settled into a 'stay home and feel like shit but there's little to do beyond that' realm or they'll need to be admitted for more significant treatment. Unless/until we can actually administer tests quickly enough to get results that will determine the course of treatment - there's real benefit to not clogging up labs that could be addressing more critical cases or front-line healthcare providers. It's essentially triage on a testing scale, for lack of a better way of putting it.

Hopefully a bit of good news. Italy researchers think the virus has a stable genome which will make a vaccine more effective. Sorry if repost.

I just got home from the clinic because my panic stricken boss demanded a doctor's release for me to come back to work because I called in Monday because the pollen was kicking my ass and I didn't think I should be walking around the store coughing constantly. They have 5 test kits, and you have to meet 3 criteria before they will burn one.

So if you're showing a high fever, cough and respiratory issues, you'll get treatment as soon as possible. |
