Harvard doctor wants cheaper, perhaps less accurate tests instead of the current slower, more accurate tests

What do they board scientists think?
any smarter science/epidimiologist folks have an opinion on whether this study is any good? https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/08/04/science.abd3871
(my layman's understanding is that they have identified cross-reactive t-cells with covid19 from other coronavirus exposures aka common colds, which explains why we see such a varied response to covid19 across the population)
Couldn't scientists find the common cold coronavirus that elicits the same t cell response?

There are now 53 studies that show positive results of hydroxychloroquine in COVID infections. There are 14 global studies that show neutral or negative results -- and 10 of them were of patients in very late stages of COVID-19, where no antiviral drug can be expected to have much effect. Of the remaining four studies, two come from the same University of Minnesota author. The other two are from the faulty Brazil paper, which should be retracted, and the fake Lancet paper, which was.
Millions of people are taking or have taken hydroxychloroquine in nations that have managed to get their national pandemic under some degree of control. Two recent, large, early-use clinical trials have been conducted by the Henry Ford Health System and at Mount Sinai showing a 51% and 47% lower mortality, respectively, in hospitalized patients given hydroxychloroquine. A recent study from Spain published on July 29, two days before Margaret Sullivan’s strafing of “fringe doctors,” shows a 66% reduction in COVID mortality in patients taking hydroxychloroquine. No serious side effects were reported in these studies and no epidemic of heartbeat abnormalities.

I had Cs in AP calc with an F one semister. Finished the AP exam a little more than an hour knowing that I made a five. Our AP Calculus teacher was a motherfuker but you knew your stuff.AP Calc was the only class I got a straight up F in
fun times
Also fuck you and the GOP for making me have to type out that billion letter word. I’m surprised they haven’t tried to use some catchy shorthand yet. I bet trump spends more time per day practicing how to say the word than actually thinking of ways to stop the pandemic.

This is, not correct. Some of us have taken some time explaining why further up the thread, but briefly, the only high quality trials that have been performed show no evidence of benefit.
