At a population level, this would be both extremely time-consuming, and rather expensive. More generally, no test is perfectly accurate, and for low base rate conditions the vast majority of positive tests will be false positives. Like, again, as a data person I adore this idea in principle, but there would be a lot of details that we'd need to figure out to make it a reality. | ||
