これは面白い。Pooled Testing. 16検体まとめてPCR検査に入れて、陽性が出たら2分探索する。計算機科学者が考えたのかな?
Testing capacity in Germany will be increased by up to factor 10 to up to 400,000 a day (!) by doing pooled testing. E.g mix 16 samples and if negative - all are negative, otherwise binary search for the positve(s). Could of course be used worldwide.
