Is the new Remdesivir data a game changer? no production capacity, IV infusion capacity in hospitals, and many other issues. We need rapid turn-around time for PCR testing first: 6hrs for an average patient please?

lots of fast PCR capacity is not necessary if you're willing to do preliminary screening with CT (and CT scanners are *fast*, i've had a CT pulmonary angio and it took like 5 minutes) like China has been doing for months

Ultrasound could also be used for screening. Cheaper, safer, more decentralised

i wonder what an ultrasound looks like of lungs with covid19, but it does seem like a promisibg idea for the later stages of disease
