5) April 22, 2020: Although not quite what I proposed/prepared, government now commissioned the use of automated dna method via COBAS 6800 machine for a boost in testing efforts for Covid19. Dna testing has been observed to be about 71% accurate, while the methods like the one I suggested above saw accuracies of up to 98% as cited on my github page in item (1) below.

Since January, I knew reasonably, (and wrote since then and beyond, in my advice to use lung scan ai projects like my own etc) that government knew that Covid19 testing was slow.

4.c) April 21, 2020: I discuss the somewhat slow process of manual dna Covid19 testing as well as estimations of actual Covid19 case counts, wrt faster methods, such as my ai/lung scan solution:

4.b) April 10, 2020: I discuss: “The potentially dangerous illusion of false confidence in supposedly relatively low Covid19 confirmed case numbers, in the vicinity of shallow testing”:

4.a) April 8, 2020: I discuss the somewhat slow process of manual dna Covid19 testing, citing the government’s reasonably insufficient Covid19 907 test instance count:

3) March 18, 2020: For the goal of enhanced/sped up Covid19 testing, I suggest again to Moh to use ai/lung scan solutions like mine:

2) February 17, 2020: For the goal of enhanced/sped up Covid19 testing, I suggest to Holness/Tufton to use ai/lung scan solutions like mine:

1) February 9, 2020: For the goal of enhanced/sped up Covid19 testing, I composed and proposed artificial intelligence/automated lung scan image method to Jamaica/Ministry of Health, to help control spread.
