We are fortunate to have the researchers and the financial resources in our community to make this study possible. Thank you!

OTOH, we are now 4-5 months into this epidemic & it's been 2 months since the call for testing and followup as essential aspects of getting ahead of the epidemic was put out there. Other countries and localities (S. Korea for one) did much better at this. Because of the delays in testing & followup, lives have been lost or endangered, livelihoods disrupted, & all inconvenienced to a significant extent.

I hope these new tests shed some light & help lead us back to normality. But, look, we (society, government, business) have been far too slow to get these essential processes going. And, even with that, we have to rely on charity (thx Chan/Zukerberg!). In this regard, governments (local, state, national) have pretty much failed to react in a competent manner. Not exactly confidence building, eh?
