In the short run, change involves risk. In the long run, not changing often poses more risk.

Over time, failing to evolve is a recipe for mediocrity and obsolescence.

When you weigh the immediate costs of changing, don't overlook the lasting costs of clinging to the status quo.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

If a public health goal is detecting infectious ppl:

The most sensitive #COVID19 test in the world, if used rarely (ie 1x/month) is:

much LESS sensitive and LESS effective than a low sensitivity test used frequently.

Further...

Use the tests! Antigen. PCR-Like. My family has had TWO “saves” so far! Been living rapid testing. Always have live in visitors quarantine AND test. Please. If eating outside together, or meeting in WELL VENTILATED space, we test right before.

Must test right before.

Now the latest NEJM article (30 Sept) says why we need Rapid Antigen Tests and NOT a standard RT-PCR test. #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 @michaelmina_lab

Read the thread.

[1] By several criteria, the benchmark standard PCR fails when used in a surveillance regimen.

There’s a lot of discussion of testing. We certainly need increased testing capacity in Ontario. But that’s not all.

We need targeted testing in high-risk workplaces & neighbourhoods AND easier surveillance testing options like saliva strips.

And, we needed all this yesterday.

Without rapid turnaround tests essential workers, including healthcare workers, will not be able to get back to work. Access to this type of testing is fundamental to keep our economy open and healthcare system accessible.
