Calamity

[image: cover-image][image: cover-image-two] In another week dominated by the pandemic, we have two covers. In Britain and America we examine how the role of governments has expanded to deal with the virus. It is the most dramatic extension of the state since the second world war and it has taken place with almost no time for debate. But it is no accident. Only the state can enforce isolation and business closures to stop the virus; it alone can help offset the resulting economic collapse. Yet for believers in limited government and open markets, covid-19 poses a problem. The stat...

PCR, serological, CRISPR: the diagnostic tests - Most testing for COVID-19 is currently done on viral genetic material from nose and throat swabs, using a workhorse tool of molecular biology called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The next big goal is to develop a serological test — one that can detect antibodies in someone who has already recovered. Prominent CRISPR researchers are also working on using the gene-editing technique to make faster, more accurate tests. Of course, the impact of tests depends on how authorities use them —...
