Well this blows. More failure of the US imo.
Honestly, it’s not that hard, but the testing infrastructure is not in place. Just terrible. Cheap rapid testing would allow lots of activities to go on. Meanwhile, we’re $11billion into support of vaccines.
You create a bubble of the skiers, coaches, staff etc, for say 3 weeks before they go over. Test every other day, maybe everyday. (Or get a mathmetician to figure it out) Make sure everyone is negative before leaving. Build in time so that quarantining people can still make it. If you maintain bubbles, it doesn’t matter the infection rate outside. The NBA is playing in the hot zone of Florida.
Yale just got approval for their test. It’s designed to get down into the below $2/test range. I guess now it’s at more like $10. You do need a lab, but these are all over. It’s 3 hours, but you can do 90 something at once.
As I understand, it’s an open license for others to use.
Just a depressing failure that none of this is in place after six months. There's only so much small companies, and Universities, can do.
