    Jeet Heer Retweeted That Tom Tomorrow guy

    This raises a question I've been wondering about: USA has really ramped up # of tests, but processing of tests seems to be slowing down. Doesn't this cut against value of tests?https://twitter.com/tomtomorrow/status/1287165062260678656 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    That Tom Tomorrow guyVerified account @tomtomorrow
    Day 13 of waiting for Covid test results. As of tomorrow, officially a moot point (unless I am long-term asymptomatic, is that a thing?) (Again, not sick, no symptoms, got tested because there are PSAs all over this city urging you to do so)

        I just got back results from a test done 14 days ago. Unless there’s no chance you can catch the virus in the interim it says nothing other than I was good at the beginning of the month.

        Extremely so. Any test results taking more than two days are of little value for testing and tracing Ideally everyone would get results in under 24 hours...so yeah, we haven’t fixed the testing yet, and we’re not close

        If reporting is so slow it doesn't affect people's behavior while they're contagious it is nearly worthless

        Yes. Beyond 24-48 hr turnaround they’re useless from a public health standpoint. Just becomes data collection at that point.

        Before ppl couldnt get tested-tests are bad, not enough kits, not enough swabs. Now we can get tested but they cant process the tests in enough time. Is this pure incompetence or purposeful neglect?
