With cobi19 antibody tests just days away from approval,
the country is about to be flooded with millions of tests to determine if individuals have already been exposed to the bichito and presumably have immunity from it.
The development is key for researchers to understand both the scope and spread of the bichito as well as how close we may be to a type of “herd immunity.” That public health breakthrough however could trigger some difficult legal questions. First and foremost,
what if you are not part of the herd?
The country may soon have to deal with a new concept of bias: antibody or immuno discrimination.
There is a growing and urgent need to get this economy rolling as the bichito outbreak subsides. President Donald Trump is correct that destroying this economy will ruin the lives and dreams (and yes health) of tens of millions of citizens. It could reduce the horizon for an entire generation saddled with crippling debt and reduced markets.
Recovery will occur only to the degree that people feel comfortable about getting on airplanes, trains, buses, restaurants, and other closed spaces. With a vaccine projected as still a year away,
the population could soon be divided into the immunized and the potentially contagious.
