Re: Testing and going back to work.
Normal tests won't Help this. Need an antigen test ( Rapid antigen test - Wikipedia) that will show both current and past infection.
Which is in the works all over the globe and essentially ready, just not accurate enough yet to trust it using it widely.
Normal lab Tests wont do any good because you need an instant result and get testet at least every 3-4 days* and since the labs Take 2-3 days mostly even now you will have to wait at home every few days awaiting results. Just because you don't have it one day dies not guarantee you won't catch itba day later from your spouse, kid or a random person. And wait time would be more with more tests. Aside from that, the needed chemical supply is stretched thin already.
*Time from Infection to the point where you start spreading it.
still need to be cautious (likely less acurate than a PCR lab test) and thus i doubt it will be the only tool used. And the firs batch produced should be used in hospitals and retirement homes.
