Half The Homeless At Boston Shelter Tested Positive For COVID-19: And None Had Symptoms

抗体検査結果：ボストンのホームレスの半数は陽性、にもかかわらず症状なし。

持病を抱えながら近代医療で命を永らえるような贅沢のできる高齢者はもともと居ないということでしょう。これはアフリカ等でも同様でしょう、たぶん。https://t.co/fMhXUtMoEh

Researchers and clinicians who have 'experimented' with random mass testing for COVID-19 have made some pretty amazing - and amazingly depressing - discoveries. Yesterday, we shared a report about one sweeping antibody testing regime set up by researchers in Santa Clara County in California.

The study found that the estimated level of novel coronavirus penetration in the county was "50-80% higher" than what had been recor

The CDC is now "actively looking into" into universal COVID-19 testing at Pine Street Inn homeless shelter.

The broad-scale testing took place at the shelter in Boston’s South End a week and a half ago because of a small cluster of cases there.

Of the 397 people tested, 146 people tested positive. Not a single one had any symptoms.

"It was like a double knockout punch. The number of positives was shocking, but the fact that 100 percent of the positives had no symptoms was equally shocking," said Dr. Jim O’Connell, president of Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, which provides medical care at the city’s shelters.

O'Connell said that the findings have changed the future of COVID-19 screenings at Boston’s homeless shelters.

これもすごいなああ。

やっぱ、コロナに弱い人達の属性をはじき出して、その人達を保護する政策を切り替えたほうが、死者数減少、医療システム維持のためにいいよ、たぶん。
