Research in the COVID 19 Era
Basic Research about the Virus
At a population level, detection enables mapmaking: quantifying the size and the sources of infection and tracking its movements. For an individual patient, it enables plan-making: assessing whether you’ve been infected and should be isolated, and tracing whom you’ve put at risk. In the later stages of a pandemic, the ability to test on a wide scale allows agencies to concentrate on hot spots and contain them with limited, local lockdowns.
