What You can do, You do do; So Let's Test for COVID-19

   What you can do, you do do. A vaccine likely is more than a year away. Yes, a non-vaccine treatment might be available within months.
   But, what you can do, you do do. Screening everyone we can with doctor's visits. Test for the virus as often as we can. It takes a special test kit to detect the virus. The CDC stumbled in coming up with a kit, but eventually did, and now expects to have perhaps a million in place by the end of the week. Each test kit is good for about 800 patients, I believe. That's 800 million people who can now be tested. Ramp up production of more test kits, and use the ones we now have in place.
   COVID-19 spread undetected into Washington, and it probably is spreading undetected into other states, as well. Had we test kits in place earlier, we might have discovered the virus's spread earlier and dampened it. Those patients with the disease could then be isolated, and -- once a treatment is provided in a few months -- treated.
   What you can do, you do do. Identifying the disease is almost all we can do. Let's do it.
