'Immunity passports' may be needed after Covid-19 lockdown - Maynooth Uni expert
Prof Paul Moynagh

A Maynooth University expert believes that ‘immunity passports’ may be one of the ways for life to return to normal after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Prof Paul Moynagh, who is head of the Kathleen Lonsdale Institute for Human Health at NUI Maynooth, believes that home testing kits should be available in the future for people to test themselves.
The current swab test or PCR test takes a swab from the back of the nose and throat and check for the presence of the virus.
An antibody test examines a blood sample for antibodies generated in the body in response to the virus, showing whether or not the person tested has been exposed to it in the past.
Prof Moynagh told the Leader: “Your body will usually produce one type of antibody called IgM in the week or 10 days after you have been exposed to a virus.
“About two weeks after exposure, you should have another type of antibody, the IgG.”
The expert believes that when antibody tests become available, random samples of the population should be tested and this practice should then be broadened out to mass testing.
He added: “At this stage an ‘immunity passport’ may be feasible to be issued to people who have developed an immunity to the virus.
“People with this ‘immunity passport’ could go back to work and rejoin society.
“This may give us an exit strategy out of the current ‘lockdown’ restrictions.”
In 2016, Prof Moynagh joined Maynooth University where is now Head of the Department of Biology and Director of the Human Health Research Institute.
He has published extensively in the area of immunology-related research.
In 2009 he was awarded the NUI Centennial Prize for Academic Publishing in Medical and Health Sciences and is the recipient of the 2014 Irish Area Section Biochemical Society (IASBS) Medal.
Last year Prof Moynagh was admitted as a member of the Royal Irish Academy (RIA), deemed to be highest academic honour in Ireland.
Like his colleagues in the scientific community, Prof Moynagh believes SARS-CoV-2 is zoonotic, which means that the virus originated in animals and jumped to humans.
One theory is that a pangolin — a scaly anteater — may have been the host that transmitted the coronavirus to people and caused the pandemic.
The (SARS) virus from 2003 is a close relative of SARS-CoV-2, and was found to have been transmitted from bats to an intermediate host – the masked palm civet - a racoon-like mammal - which then infected humans.
Prof Moynagh said new research on Covid-19 is now a daily occurrence.

If QDX HealthID is going to be successful, it must be based on scientific fact.

It must also be based on political reality and be legal. Not only is it highly unlikely that people will submit to such a solution en masse nor will there be a political will to push it. In any case, such a requirement from government would likely violate the 4th and 14th Amendments.

Does this mean that QMC should stop work on HealthID? No.

Maybe they should never have wasted time and resources on it in the first place?

If they really have 95% Rec.2020 QDs., a commercial or near-commercial AC product, and commercial QDSC, why would you divert focus to this? Put the resources into getting your reporting current if nothing else.

Did I state that I have blind faith in QMC to find a solution? or that they should implement a solution in haste?

If QMC can contribute even on the side of test kit tracking to determine which are proving reliable it offers us all a chance to return to some form of normalcy.

China's color-based QR codes
The United Kingdom is not alone in grappling with the idea of how safely to end its population's confinement and get people back to work.
China, which is cautiously beginning to open back up after weeks of restrictions, is using smart phone technology to try to prevent a resurgence of the coronavirus.
Residents of Hubei province, except for the city of Wuhan, were told last month that they would be allowed to leave the province if they have a green QR code on their mobile phones.
Asia may have been right about coronavirus and face masks, and the rest of the world is coming around

Hubei had previously ordered all its residents to obtain the color-based QR code -- which comes in red, yellow and green -- and acts as an indicator of people's health status.
The colors are assigned according to the provincial epidemic control database: people who have been diagnosed as confirmed, suspected or asymptomatic cases, or people with a fever will receive the red color code; their close contacts will receive the yellow code; and people without any record in the database will get the green code -- meaning they're healthy and safe to travel.
On April 8, the easing of restrictions will be extended to Wuhan, where the coronavirus first emerged in December, and residents with a green QR code will be able to leave the city and the province for the first time in more than two months.
