Back to Work... UPDATED, UPDATED
GET AMERICA BACK TO WORK
SAFELY
SAFELY
Do THIS and beat Covid-19
UPDATE #2 --- 3.31.2020; 3PM MST
YESSS! The #3 below, "Test Everybody" with the ANTIBODY test is looking more and more possible.
U.S. companies, labs rush to produce blood test for coronavirus immunity
So now, this plan looks more and more practical.
Super Strategy UPDATED
1. COMPLETELY EQUIP ALL HEALTHCARE WORKERS
2. BUILD OUT OUR HOSPITAL CAPACITY
3. TEST EVERYBODY. I’M TALKING EVERYBODY ... WITH THE ANTIBODY TEST
4. PUT THE SURVIVORS WITH IMMUNITY BACK TO WORK (AND ASK THEM FOR ANTIBODY BLOOD) AND GIVE THEM A BADGE!
A. Massive “Test everybody” with antibody tests. Only the antibody test can prove you had it, got well and have the immunity. (The President would use the Defense Production Act to command the production of 350 million antibody test kits, set up big automated testing labs, etc.)*
B. Give a “badge” to everyone who had covid-19, got over it, is no longer contagious, and is now immune. (If 80% of those who get covid have mild to no-symptom infections, there there ought to be millions pretty soon.)
C. Those with badges can rejoin the workforce or work in the health quadrant, etc. (make it a felony to counterfeit the badge.) They are now immune, and not contagious.
5. QUARANTINE ALL POSITIVES
6. DO COMPREHENSIVE TRACKING AND QUARANTINE ALL CONTACTS
THEN WATCH THE CURVE “FLATTEN” THEN PLUNGE
Any doubt we could do this, starting NOW?
If the President focused all the power of his administration to the task...
LATEST UPDATE 4/6/2020
Scott Gottlieb, MD, former Food and Drug Administration commissioner under President Trump, and Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, PhD, one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act under President Barack Obama, have both endorsed the idea.
Germany might adopt the approach, too. The country is reportedly considering issuing “immunity certificates” to allow people to leave lockdown early. Researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Braunschweig hope to begin testing hundreds of thousands of people to see if they have coronavirus antibodies, according to the German newspaper Der Spiegel. Those who test positive for antibodies could be given a certificate showing that it’s safe for them to go out in public.
