Ideally this will include follow up scans to see how much of the damage is temporary or permanent.
• A test to detect viral shed. If we're going to reopen in a significant way, the current positive/negative tests are inefficient in stopping the spread.
• Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly antibodies tests to help determine the average lifespan of the antibodies and to see how they track compared to other coronaviruses.

We need reinfection data. Ethics be d-
