Different antibodies for acute infected or recovered.
I don't have the test in my hands but I'm told it does both which is also very useful
I was hoping this would be the case, I need to see if I can get tested once they scale up production and the tests are widely available. I'm very curious.

talking about yourself? you must believe everything China feeds
I don't believe anything from the Chinese.

That's besides the point. If you can't figure out what's wrong with the Ted Cruz tweet, then you're a retard. So there would be no point in trying to explain it to you.

But let's take joy in the United States having the most cases and deaths...GTFO!

Report: Wuhan Funeral Homes Burned Coronavirus Victims Alive
I hope the irony of you posting this isn’t lost on anyone...

The guy who likes to rally against the ‘fake and gayy news media has now posted from both American and Russian propaganda networks.

The quoted link you posted is from Breitbart ... who is quoting from anonymous claims broadcasting from RFA - Radio Free Asia (an American propaganda network).

And when you actually scratch the surface of these reposts, you find that:
RFA was unable to confirm these reports independently
And yes, RFA is American propaganda:

Zeph @Zeph loves this, I heard him beating his meat like it owed him money all the way over here in the Free World while he read this article.
Holy hell you cunts are dumb. Actually stop and read that article. It's so obviously fake news you'd have to be a genuine retard to believe it.

they don't say which one it is in the article on Britain, but they do say other countries have similar results, and that Germany thinks a rapid-test is 3 months away. Maybe it's just the rapid-tests that are failing?

either way, I think there's going to be a whole shitload of people who've convinced themselves that the 'bad flu' they had in December was coronavirus who are going to be REALLY sad and disappointed.

I don't see how we could have this massive latent herd immunity without anyone else landing in the ICU...how our current curves of New Cases and Fatalities could be regressed that far.

Those are all home testing kits by the articles.
This still requires a machine to run it. It's the same tech as the big machines, just runs on a benchtop processor.
We are getting access to augment an overflow center. This is purely for point of care determination and triage, not recovery determination.

Yeah no doubt. There's no data of significant increase in ILI activity that early and as such if any Coronavirus was in play in a region in the US that early it would have to be less than 100 cases (based on community spread models from case #1->#2 in the USA)

ah ha...makes sense.

so do you think we're over or under 5% of the population infected so far?

With less testing Johns Hopkins estimated we had 20-25 times the tested case load.
So let's assume its...half? that right now as we increase testing. That would be 400,000 x 10 = 4 million. Even at their previous number, that's only 8 million.

Our lack of testing was terrible strategy.
It would have made these interventions less painful and removing these interventions requires mass testing. So you have to get it going anyways...and of course we didn't. Very expensive and bad response.

Filthy @Brian Ortega's Goon Hand
Our current case fatality rate is set at 3% (12000/400,000) which is inline with other early countries that didn't have broad testing strategies. That number gets better with interventions and testing. We have early deaths catching up right now but broad testing isn't implemented. We should improve from there.

If we have ten times as many cases than we realize and are missing no deaths, our mortality rate will actually be 0.3%. That's possible but seems unlikely given our demographics, but we do have a lot of critical care access. No other country has done that number with such a strategy so it would be pretty strange for us to do it that well accidentally.

If we assume that on a good day we can match South Koreas 0.5% (making a big assumption that our population dies at the same rate and isn't dramatically older or more unhealthy...ha!) Then we would have to have have 2,400,000 cases - meaning we have 6 times as many cases as we are testing. Meaning less than 1% of the population has been infected.
