I would like to report on 3 pieces of good news that have been a long time coming.

Just as the virus spreads invisibly, we improve & people work on breakthroughs invisibly.
Good, better, best:

The GOOD— leading indicators in the South are leveling off. This means if people remain careful, we should see things improve.

With the amount of deaths, level of cases, trouble in border & marginal communities, I’m still concerned. But this is good.
The BETTER:

Voters in Missouri have decided to expand Medicaid to 850,000 people. This shows again that Republican legislatures like in Utah, Nebraska and other places are not in touch.

Years of work went into this. Unabashedly amazing news.
What I believe will be the BEST NEWS: the first very cheap, highly replicable saliva test is about to be approved by the @US_FDA.

It costs $2-3 per sample!
It uses interchangeable reagents for scale
It new capacity

More on this soon
