A flawed case for not testing people without symptoms for #COVID19. You can't "protect the vulnerable" without identifying infectious carriers.
No: "testing is intended to save lives"

Hi Eric. The high-risk elderly can be protected by testing e.g. nursing home staff and visitors, which we propose in the op-ed. That will save lives.
Chiming in with our interview if you don't mind, given you have more suggestions for nursing home interventions at about 10:00 minutes in. Thanks as usual for the insight.https://www.contagionlive.com/news/evaluating-age-based-coronavirus-strategies-martin-kulldorff …
How do you propose to protect high risk obese, diabetics and others with comorbidities?
And children with underlying health conditions?
i think we have to change : preventive testing twice a week based on a risk estimation rank (community risk/closed space community) ; mass testing if community spread locally ++ but short time mass intervention (Vo Eugueno) 1/
And for private events, we need self rapid test for preventing superspreading private events.
The point that you and Jay miss is that only a small proportion of our elderly live in nursing homes and in fact in many of our elderly, particularly in communities of color, live in multi-generational households. Separating the vulnerable is not that simple. 1/
Also, this is a write-off of the disabled and chronically ill, and those with underlying conditions that pre-dispose them to severe complications of #COVID19. How do you propose to sequester them, protect them? 2/
I’m old, my husband is old, and my friends are old. We do not live in nursing homes. Many of us still work. At least 16 % of the US is over 60 years old. That is a lot of old. We are not going to hide in our homes. If I die, I die.
Tell that to the Taiwanese and South Koreans. They tested like crazy and didn’t end up with shutdowns.
