Unprecedented coronavirus antibody testing hits roadblock in Colorado
I feel like antibody testing is the thing we really care about and yet it never quite gets here...
Meanwhile governors and mayors keep proceeding to lock down further and further even as new cases start to decline. It's like a conspiracy.




Last month, biotech company United Biomedical Inc. offered to pay to test every resident of San Miguel County for COVID-19 antibodies. Company founders Mei Mei Hu and her husband, Lou Reese, are part-time residents of Telluride. About 6,000 people were tested during the first round, according to the county.
.
.
A second round of tests, however, has now been "delayed indefinitely" because the county says the coronavirus crisis has reduced staffing at United Biomedical by 40%. Only 1,600 of the nearly 6,000 tests taken during the first round of testing have been processed so far, county officials said.
.
"We will continue to evaluate whether or not it makes sense to pursue the second round of testing given the unexpected obstacles UBI's lab is facing," San Miguel County Public Health Director Grace Franklin said in a statement.
