As COVID-19 testing moved from being a tool for the diagnosis and treatment of disease to a surveillance strategy to a labor demand, it has become somewhat disconnected from the presence SARS-CoV-2. The stunning amounts of federal resources being poured into testing, tracing and sequencing almost assures some level of testing will persist into 2022. The spotty roll-out of vaccinations in non-urban centers, if it continues, may mean testing will be required in certain industries like food processing. Pending federal OSHA rules may require it.
It is a fluid situation for certain and defies a simple open/not open thesis applied across the testing industry. Next week, we will isolate the influencers of testing trends including policy, regulation, disease trends, among other things. Join us:
