Here’s a long read you might want to look through over the weekend. I’ve just published a post about all the innovations we’ll need to stop the novel coronavirus—including new tests and treatments, vaccines, and new apps that could help us track COVID-19. I wrote it because at times it can sound like we already have all the tools we need to safely re-open the economy. Unfortunately, we don’t. But they are on the horizon.

The post gets a bit technical, but I hope it will help you make sense of all the ideas you’re hearing about in the news right now.
