Coronavirus: scientists dHarvard argue for more of the bad tests, fast and not expensive

The adage that the best is the enemy of the good, illustrated tragically in the strategy inadequate screening of the Covid-19 in the United States, argue that researchers who advocate the adoption of rapid tests in a dollar, not very precise but repeatable multiple times per week by the whole population.

Michael Mina, a professor of epidemiology at Harvard, has been fighting for weeks for what he called the tests of poor quality, " null ", or more colloquially as "shitty" (" crappy "). The idea is to bypass the current model of the molecular tests of high-precision (PCR tests), which are still too rare in a large part of the United States, for which people are often queuing for hours and waiting days, even weeks, for results.
