It seems to me that each time we are told something by the Administration about coronavirus, time proves they're wrong. If we had millions of test kits available the spread might be slowed, but on thing's certain, in that you have to feel sick before you take a test, no telling how many you've spread the disease to before doing so.
A look at the cruise ships where it's spread is a perfect example of what's happening. Perhaps one or a couple people boarding the ship were carrying the disease. By the time the ship docks after a week or so of cruising, hundreds have the disease, and more may be determined during quarantine. This goes beyond just direct exposure, people are picking it up from places they touch, where the person with it coughed or sneezed possibly an hour or more before is my guess, it also may be carried by the ships vent systems. This is purely a guess on my part, but how else do you explain the growth of the infection aboard ship.
I can only hope that something can be found to effectively fight the disease once you have it. It will be well over a year before a vaccine's available, even if the President demanded a month or two, sorry, even he cannot make something happen that defies science. Dr. Fauci can be believed and his estimate of 12 to 18 months if probably optimistic.
Our device could lower exposure, but it would probably need to be used multiple times a day in heavily crowded areas to be effective. In the case of a ship, perhaps in dining areas between meal service.
