Valuable resources and time are being wasted on these antibody tests. Not only are they not accurate, we don't even know yet if there is such thing as immunity after infection.
The only thing that makes sense is ramping up the RNA detection tests that identify current infections, making them yield results ASAP, and to stop farting around with testing only suspected positive people. We need to use the testing capacity we do have to do random population sampling so we can build models around what we project is happening in the entire population, infected to not. The more localized the better.
