The demand of negatives to live their live without what is perceived as unacceptable measures (remember when asking people to wear masks was too much asked?) will force politics to draw this tool out of the toolbox.

It appears this provides a way to truly distinguish who should be protected from SARS-Cov-2 infection and who shouldn’t, given a cheap test can be manufactured. The problem then is, that we and the individuals affected know which group they

On a global perspective the interests of too many people don't align to reach any sensible consensus by conventional means. We see it with the pandemic, we see it with global warming and we saw it in general with every conflict and war
