Say I had a lab with the sequencers needed for this test. I can't claim to understand the work needed to onboard into this new process, but my question is: how long does the onboarding take before the lab can process these 3840/day ?
Thanks for the question. Last week, I sent half-a-page of instructions in a hastily written e-mail to a scientist working for the Switzerland government response team, and they told me that it worked beautifully in their first try this week.
With the details described in the manuscript, the onboarding can be only a few days (or even self-onboarding based on instructions). The only part that is somewhat tricky is the bioinformatics algorithm for positive vs. negative calls, which we can supply.
all that could be said by a lot of startups. After the somewhat unexpected success of twitter, facebook and all that social crap, all investors are afraid of missing out on the next opportunity. Thus, artificially increasing the market and inflating the "bubble"
I actually know someone from Somalia who got successful there, got screwed and left to Holland. Got successful there again, and again got screwed and left to Romania. He has a successful business here, and he probably won't get screwed again :P
After the first "failure", his connections helped him rise again.
