What does that mean exactly ? They have the test kits but aren’t allowed to use them ? Why ?

to understand exactly what that means you need to know how rt-qprc works... https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/protocol-v2-1.pdf?sfvrsn=a9ef618c_2 … the fda regulates both the materials you can get your hands on (the live samples needed to test you got it right) and who you can give it to(which patients it is legal to test).

Ah so in this case ( if I understand this correctly) people are used as lab rats for the creation of a possible vaccine, only allowed to test when 99% positive to be a carrier bc only then we become useful for collecting the data that’s needed.

I don't think you understand correctly.

Can you explain it again in layman’s terms . When is it allowed to test? Why isn’t testing and early treatment available for everybody ?

there isn't a known effective treatment, testing capacity is not infinite so some limits on testing make sense

Economically /Logically sure. The problem is not everybody gets a pneumonia so somebody can have the corona virus without the fatal symptoms but yet spread around . That makes it almost impossible to stop it, unless everybody gets tested and quarantined ASAP.

The question is what cost is more important economical cost or lives lost. I guess the answer is clear. A lot of people are going to die until there is a treatment and or vaccine until the virus mutates again.

Than it will be just another flu virus. Only more dangerous bc not everybody gets really sick. Is it somehow genetically related to a certain protein ?

Not clear if ACE-2 receptor expression is meaningfully different between Asians and Caucasians. Smoking may be more important. SARS had no ethnic sensitivity and used the same receptor. We will see what happens in Italy!
