[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]1. Which WHO test are you referring to? 
2. Where exactly are these WHO tests?[/quote]

I am not sure if you are just being argumentative or you really want to know. But a German laboratory developed a coronavirus test that was adopted by the WHO and offered to other countries. The US developed its own test which was initially flawed. I am not sure which countries are using the WHO test now, but I believe Germany is since it was developed there.

Am very interested in more info about this German test. Is there a name to it, or a company name?[/quote]

Roche Molecular Systems[/quote]

FDA approved mid-March:  https://www.medtechdive.com/news/coronavirus-roche-test-fda-emergency-use/574073/[/quote]

That perfectly demonstrates the problem. We should have been testing from January. Trump cost us the entire month of February and half of March downplaying the epidemic.

Jeff seriously who would you have tested in January

At the end of February there were 78 cases and one case of communal transmission[/quote]

Distribute tests to health facilities. Remember we had an unusual bad 'flu' season. Doctors could have prescribed tests to patients in January so we knew the scope of the spread of the virus. There was only 78 cases is precisely due to CDC's slow response to testing in February.

Take a look at Germany and South Korea when we had the first case on the same day. Germany can safely open because it KNOWS its R0 is below 1 because of the testing. We on the other hand have no idea.[/quote]
