It's certainly a tool in the belt. So how do they then treat based on this? High antivirals?

The article somewhat confused hs-CRP and CRP. Those are two different tests.

If it were simple to administer at scale just knowing your high at risk population would be massive for re-opening the country. Better than contact tracing.

These tests I believe only apply to folks who are already ill and would be of no use if asymptomatic folks. I wonder about the hs-CRP though. I know that a high level of normal CRP is an indicator of an immune system in high gear.
