@nanogenomic are these revelations as scary as i think they are?
Non-durable immunity, lung damage in asymptomatic cases?
Young people are not getting the pass they think and may have permanent scarring of their lungs...https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2020/06/19/immunity-to-covid-19-infection-may-fade-quickly/#3258825672e1 …

From your perspective what should the US be doing? It seems like another lockdown is out of the question and people are reluctant to wear masks. Is our situation here hopeless?

Widespread temperature check drive throughs like

Temperature check will miss all of the asymptomatic cases, which seem to be the predominant route of transmission. Also, they will give false confidence to asymptomatic people which will further increase asymptomatic transmissibility. It’s a very bad idea.

This is an exponential problem - and the key difficulty is that it spreads presymptotically. Earlier catch = exponential impact. Fever is arguably the most common symptom. We don’t need to catch every case to get R<1

I’m not saying that temperature checking isn’t useful for detecting symptomatic cases. I’m saying that the false confidence it inspires in asymptomatic people, who are already the predominant route of transmission, will likely increase their R0. Need actual testing too.

Temperature is only 1 of many symptoms. Even symptomatic patients didn't always present with elevated temperatures.

Yah but IMO most quantifiable symptom that can be done rapidly on a wide scale

60-87% of cases are asymptomatically transmitted. One asymptomatic person can get 200+ people sick from going to a few bars and clubs. You NEED more than temperature testing. South Korea didn’t just use temperature testing. They also had this in February.https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/03/02/asia/coronavirus-drive-through-south-korea-hnk-intl/index.html …
