NYC 2015 |
NBCNewYork reports on Jan. 13 that Gov. Cuomo is experimenting
with letting venues and businesses offer rapid antigen tests to customers, who
must test negative (15 minute turnaround) to be admitted. If they test positive, they must isolate and
get a regular test.
The idea is being proposed for apartment or condo
buildings for residents.
Ideally, a test result would be stored on a smart
phone, and an automated contact tracing system would warn others (Virginia and
other states has a voluntary contact exposure program). There is a patent dispute with this idea
discussed today on my Trademark blog.
Embedded video from Wall Street Journal (Jan 14, paywall possible). Apoorva Mandavilli has an article in the NYT Jan 20 about concerns over vaccine effectiveness especially against South African and Brazil strains (leads to other links).
