In UK, any household can get a **7-pack** of rapid tests every day for free… An incredible example of what taking a true public health approach with regard to #COVID19 testing looks like.

For testing in a pandemic - we MUST let the goal determine the gold-standard We have thus far used a gold standard borrowed from medical diagnostics and it’s been disastrous We need gold standards for public health testing. Where speed and accuracy for infectiousness matter 5/

Did you know: A test *not* performed has a sensitivity of 0% for symptomatic and asymptomatic ppl A test w a 48 hr delay has 0% during the days of waiting I talk a lot about sensitivity- but if we want to detect infectious people - frequency of testing is even more important.
