Bosch has just developed a quick test: a cartridge is put into a machine, and the test is ready in 2.5 hours. Reliability is stated with 95%. However, this won‘t ramp up the total capacity very much as the number of machines will be limited; it‘s mainly helpful to test medical staff quickly to ensure they are not infected.
Today a huge discussion in our parliament..
The company that has the production rights to sell and do these tests in Holland refuses to share it with other companies. Yet they do not have the capabilities to create and do more tests..
So in my book, this sounds like murder.. espescially when you know that many other companies do have this capacity and some are even willing to create these test at costprice...
Its the same as what made me startthis topic, some people place their own financial needs above other peoples lives..
In my holy book this sounds like an indirect case of voluntary manslaughter..
It's certainly beyond any acceptable ethics...
And just checking the death toll of over 400 and the number of positive cases around 7,500 in the Netherlands, it strongly seems there is not enough testing and the dark figure is much higher, so you could really use these machines.
We do need them, but there are other reasons our number of deaths is so high. Many elderly people overhere in Holland that are allready sick, choose voluntary not to get treated, knowing if they don’t die of Corona, they will die in less then a year anyway for other cause..they are not up for another fight. this brings the number of deaths relatively high..
Whats more important is that the number of deaths we have each day is just rising very slowly... in opposite to countries like Italy and spain and now France..
We got the most cases form a) Canavalle and b) wintersports in Austria..which both caused a boom in. Numbers..
We here in Holland have no clue however who is comtaminated.. but then thats the same as in other countries, as people seem to be spreading the disease witouth being sick..
And we do not have the number of tests to find out who is possitive at home..they cant even test medical staff..yet the Swiss Company Roche refused to work with us on a solution.
The situation changed yesterday evening, as under political and social oressure the company gave up its claims.. seems we can now produce these tests in. Holland... but that takes time..
