        The most basic and critical thing in stopping the transmission is diagnosis. We need saliva-based home test-kits that are economical and easy to read. A test that avoids the swabs and PCR. Also economical enough to allow frequent testing non-invasively.

        Q-rt-RT PCR is the best most accurate way of testing why would you want to avoid it? There are developments coming in PCR that will mean swift, lab free PCR testing becomes commonplace. Saliva based too. We're getting there.

        Why is Boris Johnson self isolating if he has had COVID ? If having it doesn’t give you immunity how will a vaccine work ?

        V*ccine will stop the most vulnerable from dying and get us out of the constant threat of overwhelmed hospitals. It can't eradicate the v*rus on its own, just like this article says.
