Agreed. Trialing is fraught even in better, non-crisis circumstances. The work continues…

For the smaller contract manufacturers, maybe not. For Pfizer and Teva, et al, not a chance. They’ll wait a while, bide their time, then present data and validation and monitoring plan (that automates the monitoring, rather than does anything meaningful to prevent recurrence), and most importantly, a big fat user fee check, and the FDA will roll over and let them.

Do you have any evidence to support your claim of inevitable recurrence of contamination? You’re welcome to your opinions on this, of course - big pharma is easy to hate because they do so much wrong… but big claims require big evidence… or it’s just your opinion.
any prediction of the future behavior of a person or group of people is “just your opinion”

Indeed. But in a rational discussion, it should be based on something rather than just being a pure flight of fancy passed off as fact.

Test, test, test, and test again!
Waiting until people feel sick (if they ever do) means that they’ve been spreading infection for at least a week. And then authorities have to play catch-up to figure out who contacted them. We can’t win with that amount of lag-time.

A point that’s not being heard often nor nearly enough:
We do know, though, that quarantines and lockdowns are devastating for women who are experiencing domestic violence, as they are shut in with their abusers, who are already anxious from the pandemic and economic dislocation. If you are at risk, do reach out for help before a lockdown begins.

Twitter is (belatedly) getting on board the “delete dangerous misinformation” train…

I can’t keep up with this whole thread so apologies if this is a re-post, but the LadyGoose and I have been following this tracker:

I linked specifically the testing tab, which I only just discovered, but was what I was most curious about. In general O was suprised by how low the oositive rate was. However, NY’s positive hit ratio (23%) is much higher than other places which says to me WE ARE NOT TESTING ENOUGH! [staying home intensifies]
of course grains of salt and all, but they are very transparent about their sources.

As a last resort maybe you can hand wash clothes in bathtub or shower?
