Rutherford Health that I mentioned, are testing everyone in all of their centres, who were also tested with the traditional swap method to see if they currently had the virus. They said the results are indicating that the antibody test is accurate enough.

But as I mentioned, all forms of test will not be able to detect those people who don't have antibodies but can't catch it. Going back to the Diamond Princess again, there was one guest, Alan Steele, who tested positive and had no symptoms but was taken off to a Japanese hospital. His new bride repeatedly tested negative and had no symptoms; and as they were on their honeymoon in a ship's cabin, they certainly weren't social distancing. So is she likely to catch it from someone else?

In the same way they get tv ratings each week.  Just have a test group that's representative of society or representative of whatever demographics they want.

Doesnt mean they need to pick 100k random people every day. Can just be the same 100k sampled regularly

My own underlying suspicion is that a particular medicine or group of medicines in treating one ailment has inadvertently made these people more susceptible to catching and developing covid to a more serious degree, hence it affecting mostly people with underlying health conditions. 

Most medicines have side effects and people often have to take medication to treat the side effects of their medication. This just might be a further example.

I would be keen to see deaths and hospitalisations vs particular meds as a chart to see if their was a trend, but we know there is not a hope in hell of that data ever becoming public if it is available.

It's an interesting hypothesis.

The medical/scientific focus now is rightly on developing 1)effective treatment, 2) accurate testing; 3) a vaccine. But once this has settled down, I'll be fascinated to see if they can learn why the virus affects some so severely and others so little (or not at all). I know 'underlying medical conditions' and age are the two obvious factors, but there's enough cases of severe reaction in people for whom neither applies that there must be something else (even if it's just initial/ongoing viral load)

Yes, but I’d have thought the significantly greater socialising and attendance at entertainment events on cruises more than made up for the relatively lower risks associated with sleeping and ‘toileting’?
