Imagine, a country is doing rapid tests on the whole population.

Everyone who tests + (or refuses to test) has to isolate. After a week, they repeat the routine.

If the test&isolate theory works roughly as expected, we will find only a few sporadic cases afterward, right?

#Slovakia used this approach.

This is a dream come true for the pro lockdown "experts" of #TeamPanic.

If everything we learned about the importance of track, trace, and isolate, this should be the super nuclear weapon for Covid19.

It wasn´t.

In Slovakia, cases haven´t vanished. They are still there and follow the same pattern as other EU countries.

Again, our ideas of viral transmission are too simple.

If this superweapon doesn´t work, it sheds a light on the effectiveness of more unfocused TTI strategies.
