I was hoping to see some other low-tech options in that article (unless I missed them?) We all *should* know the regime of handwashing, social distancing, etc, by now.
It is so evident that mask-wearing is just not working among too many people in the US - masks are politicised to such an extent that some people are even wearing masks with their political affiliation stamped broadly across their mask!
So I was hoping that other low-tech options were being sought. The rapid 'spit' test indicators used prior to admission at venues, for example. The covid sniffer dogs at airports, as another example.
Seems it is going to be a long wait for a vaccine. Why is no-one going into lateral thinking mode?
I had to google what lateral thinking is. MOO It's what they used to call "thinking outside the box" in my days?
Perhaps due to the fact that the simple proven things like social distancing and masks are the best bang/ low $$$$ for the buck and the simplest to do and affordable to all are not being done? Infectious disease 101?
As was said way back in late January/early February, the single most important thing is to have a strong consistent message from leadership on down in an integrated approach for the country, based on social mores of such country.
Or am I not thinking outside the box either for ways to solve that are available and inexpensive to all?
