[QUOTE="donner, post: 3340506, member: 277"] I wont answer for him, but i have seen things where places are working on tests that return faster answers. Basically, the hope (according to things i've read about how results are used) is to identify people who have it and quarantine them. As he noted, not much can be done for treatment, but if you can identify the asymptomatic spreaders and isolate them, you slow things down. There is a story i saw about one Italian town (very small) that basically tested everyone early, identified those with it and stopped the spread in its tracks. I doubt that is possible here and now (both for a lack of testing and our size), but still shows how knowing does help. Now, if everyone acted as if they had covid and did more to isolate, it would accomplish much of the same thing. But that doesn't seem to be working. [/QUOTE]
