The newly-crowned immune passport may be used for dates that do not have to observe social distance.
Several countries around the world are government conducting Coronavirus antibody tests to see if their nationals have been infected with the new crown virus and have developed related diseases.
Some of these countries are designing an "immunization passport ", and more may follow suit in the future.
How this pattern works is that passport holders can get rid of the blockade by showing that you have had a new crown virus. and that you will not carry or infect it again.
But is this theory correct? Will this result in a group of antibody-bearing elites who can date, travel and work as they please, while others remain subject to various health precautions?
This article is based on some interviews broadcast in The British Broadcasting Corporation's daily business program.
"I know I'm not sick, we should meet! "
Pam Evans (Pam Evans), from Aberdeen (Aberdeen), England, has recently been forced to discover the dark side of online dating. She said one man had taken an unprecedented approach to meeting her.
Pam Evans doesn't want to break the blockade by dating a man who thinks he's immune.
""It was a weekend when a man said to me ,' I just had a new crown test last week, so I know I' m not sick, and we should meet ,' and I said ,' No, absolutely not'……. He immediately became very rude. "
Her potential date tried to use her own negative test results as a reason to break the blockade and meet herself.
Is the same a sign that those who have the means to prove that they have had a new crown pneumonia may use their privileged status in society?
During the past period, New York residents went to different testing centers to test for new coronary antibodies.
A lot of people in New York, are using antibody tests as evidence that they are a safe date. By testing antibodies, they showed that they had been exposed to virus and were now cured.
They will take pictures of their test results as a temporary creation of a "new crown immunization passport ".
According to this theory, if you have antibodies in your body, you won't get sick again.
What happens if we decide who can resume work safely and who can board the plane? For those people, the new crown may be over.
"Immunization passport"
The principle of an immune passport is a document confirming that you have had new coronary pneumonia. People with such documents can go to places where no one can go.
If you want to get a passport like this, you must be positive for antibody testing after the virus of infection.
The picture shows a new-crown immune passport model. Will this be a way to avoid isolation while traveling by air?
Based on this principle, Estonia is establishing an "immunization passport" system and Chile is planning to introduce an "exemption certificate ".
Estonia's system is built on mobile apps, says syrikus (Tavvet Hinrikus), co-founder TransferWise foreign exchange firm that helped develop the technology. In some places, there is no doubt that such programs should be used ," such as Who is taking care of our old man? Can I visit my parents? "
In his view ," if immunity exists as a concept, those who are immunized should be allowed to take care of the elderly, or just like front-line staff. "
Estonia's new immunization passport uses mobile technology to identify users.
And there are programs being developed to show people's antibodies and even immunity, Onfido is one example. According to Husayn Kasai, co-founder of the program, some U.S. hotel chains are now accepting immune passports based on mobile apps.
"For customers who want to use certain services, such as spa (spa) or gym, social distance policy is not applicable in these places. "
Antibody elite
But does the technology have a evil side: is it likely to create a potential demand for elite populations that are thought to be immune to Coronavirus?
In China, shoppers use a mobile phone program to show that they are healthy enough before entering the mall. will immune procedures be used in the same way?
West (Robert West), a professor of health, psychology and behavioral sciences at the University College of London (UCL) worries that this will lead to a "divided society ".
"You can imagine a situation where, if you get a certain form of proof, it will provide you with opportunities that are not available to those who can not obtain such proof "," which creates a multi-layered society that deepens the severity of discrimination and inequality ," he said.
West also warned that the big premise of immunity may not be reliable.
"It is not based on a solid scientific foundation, but on the possibility that you are susceptible (to the new crown) or that you are likely to pass the virus on to others "," which can be driven by business pressures areas of society driven by business pressures. "
A newly-crowned immune passport can mean that travelers don't think they need a mask.
West predicts that people with antibody certificates in the future may be able to take care of patients belonging to vulnerable groups, or that some companies may use employees' immune passports as a means of competing with other companies. But he argues that there is not enough evidence to suggest that possession of antibodies is a reliable way of judging whether a person is infected or infected with virus.
"She can, she has antibodies ."
Aviation is particularly hard hit in this global pandemic. Holland Kay (John Holland-Kaye), president of Heathrow, Europe's largest airport in London, hopes that all countries will recognize antibody certificates.
"What you really need is your health passport... will be accepted by the country you are going to, and you can also safely go home without any form of isolation. "
Coronavirus under the microscope
Shahar (Carmel Shachar), director of the center for health law policy, biotechnology and biological ethics at petri-from, harvard law school, worries that people may try to catch new crown pneumonia.
"If you want to go back to work, you'll have to get the fatal disease first, and we do n' t want you to get it from a public point of view, "
privacy is also another concern for her. "If my employer can request access to my medical information, have I ever had a new crown, do I have antibodies —— are they allowed to do so? if they get the information, are they allowed to share the information? "
For some industries, she argues, there are obvious business benefits in making this information public. "If I work in a restaurant, can my employer tell every incoming customer :'Do n' t worry, she can, because she has antibodies'? "
The United States has the largest number of newly diagnosed cases worldwide.
She believes that known immunity can bring significant benefits. "You can say that for medical staff or nursing staff who work with new crown patients... We do want to see immunity. "
She says people really want to go back to life before the pandemic, or a "new normal ", and people are ready to compromise.
Detection problem
Achieving the "new normal" as soon as possible is the goal government all countries. Many countries have found the idea of antibody testing for the entire population attractive when overall infection rates are high.
Germany's disease control agency, Robert Koch Institute (Robert Koch Institute), is leading a large-scale random antibody detection project.
antibody test blood samples. Many countries are preparing to provide large-scale antibody testing.
but the accuracy of some of these tests remains doubtful. A study published in May by the U.S.'s New Crown Pneumonia Test (Covid-19Testing Project) found that 12 antibodies were detected with an accuracy rate of 81-100%.
America's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned that some antibody tests can mistakenly show you have antibodies, up to half the time. This means that some people who have never had new crown pneumonia may mistakenly believe that they have immunity and perform dangerous behaviors because of this false sense of security.
Some places use household finger puncture equipment, and these blood samples are sent to the laboratory for use in the new crown antibody test.
Even if the antibody test results are correct, does that mean you are really immune? Doubts were expressed by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In britain, for example ,14 senior academics published an open letter in the british medical journal in late june expressing their concerns. They said antibody tests for British health care workers were conducted without "adequate evaluation ".
American researchers have found that the accuracy of different antibody tests varies widely.
Back in Aberdeen, Pam wasn't convinced against the test.
"We don't know how long this immunity can last. If you've had those symptoms, we do n' t know if it's 100% correct. "It doesn't hurt you to meet someone and sit in the park and drink coffee ," she said.
"I wasn't supposed to kiss on my first date either. So for me, keeping two meters away means that a man can't jump at you right away! "
