Drive Thru Antibody Testing in OC now

Komo4 buttfuckers

Coming to Seattle soon I'm sure...or not because of Inslee.

Will be the tale of the Tape on @GrundleStiltzkin's theory.

Stay tuned as I plan to go have it done.

On-demand, or need a doctor referral?

Drive through on demand. Show up, show your insurance, or pay cash @RaceBannon. $75. Finger prick and wait 15 minutes for results.

Interesting chit.

I'm liking my idea from the other day (shocking) more & more: Random antibody testing from public school students. We?re forcing all sorts of shit right now, why not this. Such testing would provide basis for re-opening or not schools, transmissibility within fairly dense social environs, information on asymptomatic spread, and some proxy data on broader exposure (kids been exposed, family been exposed).

Gonna destroy the myth that the end of the world is nigh.

Hopefully more reliable than the tests the Brits bought

The UK government has admitted that none of the 17.5m antibody tests it ordered in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic work well enough to be used.

Ministers had high hopes that the arrival of the tests would give a much clearer picture about how many people had been infected by Covid-19, paving the way for an eventual easing of lockdown restrictions.

The government is working with nine companies that have developed coronavirus antibody tests, which screen for whether someone has recovered from the disease and is likely to be immune. The tests are being assessed by researchers at Oxford university — but each one has so far proven unreliable.

“We see many false negatives (tests where no antibody is detected despite the fact we know it is there) and we also see false positives. None of the tests we have validated would meet the criteria for a good test as agreed with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. This is not a good result for test suppliers or for us,” he said.

I'm hearing there should have been months of studies and clinical trials before it was released.

Hopefully the tattoos that show you’re immune will be more fashionable than these.




Of course the Germans are at the forefront

I can't access the article. Did it say which company manufactured the test instruments?
