The fact Italy rapidly switched from cohort tracing to testing mostly only on presentation of symptoms may prove a big mistake. Sure there are finite tests available, but there is also very limited verification testing. Verification testing is statistically based sampling that IS likely managable. This done not by medical teams but epidemiologists using people trained only to collect samples.
The main issue now is we have little idea of latency at large. South Korea, Taiwan & China took a different approach. Their differences also reflect more than medical matters but social factors too that include rights & surveillance. South Korea is particularly interesting because it was prepared and utilised the existing smart-phone, CCTV & other tech well. http://theconversation.com/coronavirus-south-koreas-success-in-controlling-disease-is-due-to-its-acceptance-of-surveillance-134068 All news take with a pinch of salt. But some of it has some lessons. Best wishes TT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
