Developing the antibody test is a really big deal. The main challenge is determination of an antigen that's specific to COVID-19 and not a different corona virus. Several research labs have found some, after extensive laboratory assays, but even then they are doing extensive testing on plasma samples of victims. And once they overcome that hurdle, there is the problem of manufacture of the antigens.

Once you have decided what protein the antibodies are latching onto, the business of synthesising that protein is passed over to a genetically modified bacterium that does nothing else. Molecular biologists have been doing this for some years now - it isn't rocket science any more.

Here's a simple explanation even you can understand:

That just points out that we already have the antigen problem sorted. Boris Johnson wouldn't be able to go out and buy 3.5 million devices if we didn't.

British are not particularly famous for their mass production excellence.

Look at them run to a vacuum cleaner appliance manufacturer in Australia to bail them out of the ventilator shortage.

At least in the U.S., GM and Ford ran to established medical grade ventilator manufacturers to put on an even bigger show of capability they don't have.

British are not particularly famous for their mass production excellence.

The Germans do it better, and mainly because they invest more capital per worker. The British have been doing it longer than anybody else - the Chinese excepted, but the British had their industrial revolution long before China.

The British can certainly churn out stuff when they have to. It may not be the best stuff you can buy - my first car was made in England, but rest were French and Japanese - but it works.

> Look at them run to a vacuum cleaner appliance manufacturer in Australia to bail them out of the ventilator shortage.

Nobody has made any fuss about it here. Resmed - a local company who makes sleep apnoea aids - is moving it's production to ventilators and that has got some publicity here.

> At least in the U.S., GM and Ford ran to established medical grade ventilator manufacturers to put on an even bigger show of capability they don't have.

So what. Getting design drawing for something that can work is a great help in getting production going. You may not make the stuff the same way that lower volume producers would, or make exactly the same product, but Chinese copies can work fine.

So Italy is still in deep trouble. The number of new cases each day isn't going up, but it isn't going down either. Their hospitals are going stay overloaded until they work out how to prevent more infections.

A blank round. the bullet is the projectile. The one I handled could accept
blank rounds in two different calibres too because it had interchangable
chambers.

A blank round. the bullet is the projectile.

A "blank round" by inference and definition, has NO projectile.

In a nail gun, the HAMMER is the projectile, and they are traverse
limited to remain within the tool.

The one I handled
could accept blank rounds in two different calibres too because it
had interchangable chambers.

That is because the original designs using .22 caliber blanks were
found to bee quite weak in the operation for which these tools are
chosen to start with. .25 caliber was adopted by Hilti and others for
its increased power.

Both have NO projectile.

Powder actuated nail guns are all single shot devices.

Pneumatic nail guns are the repeating variety.

Neither will launch a projectile without defeating the incorporated
safety mechanisms.

The crude Wuhan comparison - an event affecting a single city

is no longer apt when the wide-spread effects exceed a country's
capacity to respond, proportionally. Conversely, modest resources
can prevent conditions in a smaller scale city from degrading

Per capita comparisons are interesting.

The Wuhan event resulted in virus detections per capita
in the 50ppm range for the country as a whole, at the
end of present containment excercises. The resources of
the rest of the country were applied in this exercise.

In Italy, Spain and Iceland, it's over 1000ppm, at present,
without containment.

China would have had to have had 20 Wuhans, to match this.

So, the US and other countries, currently at a 3day doubling
rate of detection, should be ready for the 20x Wuhan effect
on it's resources, as no containment is possible at this
late date.

Every case doesn't need to be detected - that's just an
indicator of the development.

As of Apr08:
US detections are at 1204ppm (no longer Wuhan comparable >20x)
Fatalities at 39ppm from a 572ppm detection recorded
7 days previously ( 6.8% FR)
US detections running at 92ppm/day (possibly steadying)
US tests performed total 5780ppm (0.6%), at 470ppm/day

Canada detections at 474ppm (9x Wuhan) - so running ~8 days
behind the US.
Fatalities at 10ppm from a 226ppm detection recorded
7 days previously. ( 4.5% FR)
Canadian detections running at 33ppm/day (possibly steadying).
Canadian tests performed total 8960ppm (0.9%), at 600ppm/day.

Iceland detections at 4647ppm . (no longer Wuhan comparable)
Fatalities at 18ppm from a 3326ppm detection recorded
7 days previously. ( 0.50% FR )
Detection rate is 70ppm/day and falling.
Iceland tests performed total 81230ppm (8.1%), at 3685ppm/day.

Italian detections at 2242ppm. (no longer Wuhan comparable)
Fatalities at 283ppm from a 1750ppm detection recorded
7 days previously. ( 16% FR )
Detection rate is 50ppm and falling.
Italian tests performed total 11690ppm (1.2%), at 510ppm/day.

US and Canada do not seem to test or to report on one day
of the week ~ weekend.

The single MD of a long-term care seniors home in Bobcaygeon,
Ontario, relates that his only tools against Covid19 infection
at the facility were inhalers and morphine. Isolation impractical.

Canada reports no backlog in testing.

You're joking, right? Canada is testing less than 10 per thousand, that's one in a hundred. If there is no backlog it is because they are turning people away that want the test.

Furthermore, any data from China is totally unreliable - they reported ZERO CV19 deaths today. Yeah, right.

You keep talking about China reporting zero deaths as if that is impossible.. The deaths reported have been single digit for weeks now. Why is zero so inconsistent when they have fewer infections in the whole country than we have in Idaho?

They have worked hard to reduce their infection counts. We should hope to achieve that ourselves and should be over there learning all the details of how they did it. South Korea as well. Science is about exchanging information. Our government seems to have trouble with that idea.
