(EN) art.5 Legal Framework 2020-12-22 (now extra prohibited) Ag-selftesting in Belgium: https://t.co/VyQ2w6TO4g

[Prof Irene Petersen @i_petersen]

Yep @angelaraffle - you may like it or not, but bringing the tests to the people rather than people to the tests will be one of the most powerful tools to keep the #covid19 under control in the future.

[RapidTestsEU 🇪🇺 🇧🇪 @RapidtestsEU]

@RoscherMarcus Agreed, current frequency and participation need to increase for sustainable sub-1 R-values.
Careful with annecdotal evidence though. We know Se is not a perfect 100% and therefore Test & Release is not our first priority. Serial lowcost mass testing is (cf. helicopter testing):

[Prof Irene Petersen @i_petersen]

Yes, so far we have learned that testing those with symptoms 3 days after they became infectious is not a very effective way of controlling spread of #COVID19

In contrast, the school testing programme is doing its job as a #COVID19 detector...

The CDC walked back controversial comments made by its director suggesting that people who are vaccinated against the coronavirus never become infected or transmit the virus to others. https://t.co/DwN34txKpK

🇨🇭 Schweitz - NZZ: Testing funktioniert

Tests in Bergkanton Graubünden:

Über 35 Prozent der Bündner Bevölkerung regelmässig getestet, meistens in Firmen.

Resultate vielversprechend: zweittiefste 7-Tage-Inzidenz und zweittiefsten R-Wert der 🇨🇭 Schweitz.

@JefkeLauriks @terzaketv @PedroFacon Volledig akkoord om de bevolking op gevaren, plichten & verantwoordelijkheden te wijzen.

Bewust (direct/indirect) toebrengen van lichamelijk letsel = misdrijf. En hiervoor kan men ook aansprakelijk (art 1382 BW etc) worden gesteld. Zowel als werkgever, werknemer, toerist, e.d.m.

[RapidTestsEU 🇪🇺 🇧🇪 @RapidtestsEU]

@tooneerdekens @terzaketv @PedroFacon Cf. autobumpers, veiligheidsgordels, rookmelders, MRI-scans.. die kunnen ook niet alle kwaad vermijden, maar 80% is al een goed begin. Die 80% Se is in feite alleatoire WHO-target waarvan modellen aantonen dat (bij gebruik door 50% bevolking 2x/wk) pandemie kan onderdrukt worden.

@rhgfdrth @terzaketv @PedroFacon ⛔ Dit is fake news.

Betrouwbaarheid wordt aangegeven door intervals met stat. parameters.

Accuraatheid wordt vooral bepaald door Se sensitivity en Sp specificity; waarbij bv. o.a.(!) ook rekening dient gehouden met het Bayesiaanse theorema om voorspellende waardes te bepalen..

[RapidTestsEU 🇪🇺 🇧🇪 @RapidtestsEU]

@davywouters21 @PedroFacon @terzaketv De initiële benadering vd instant zelftests heeft niks of weinig te maken met zgn. 'Test & Release' (dwz. fun-, sports-, work-, school- of travel-passes dmv Neg. Test).

⏩ Men zoekt naar Pos. Test, zodat men kan isoleren en tracen en zoveel mogelijk besmettingsketens vermijden.

08. Schockingly, as pointed out in recent parliamentary proceedings, the biggest impediment to (legalizing) Ag testing in Brussels/Belgium seems to be an unholy alliance of:

[RapidTestsEU 🇪🇺 🇧🇪 @RapidtestsEU]

@johanhofman @BHumbeeck @PedroFacon @BartRommel1 @terzaketv In tegenstelling tot Ab of PCR heeft Ag veel betere voorspelkarakteristieken als het er om gaat besmettelijke/hoogbesmettelijke individuen dmv. een positieve test "uit circulatie" te halen, alvorens zij het virus door kunnen geven aan anderen.

[RapidTestsEU 🇪🇺 🇧🇪 @RapidtestsEU]

How hard could it be to teach 9-18 yr old kids at school during 2 weeks, and then hand them a set # / pple / household (+ confrm), to self test at home? E.g. depending on prevalence in surrounding area.

Every transmission chain broken is an e^x succession of infections blocked.

@michaelmina_lab In EU the Dutch immunisation register (eg measles-HIV R&D) = often cited as example why vaccinations ought to be registered by central health authority = now invoked to enforce cumbersome registration of CoV-2 vaxing & testing (benifiting BF & DX), hampering Ag-testing

Thoughts?
