This one-hour presentation discusses how after its discovery, the COVID-19 coronavirus was sequenced extremely rapidly, and multiple RT-PCR assays were quickly developed and the details shared for use by laboratories worldwide. The unprecedented need for testing resulted in a severe shortage of all reagents and supplies, including collection swabs, transport media, extraction kits, and RT-PCR enzyme mixtures. As we develop an algorithm to move out of stay-at-home lockdown, there is a scramble to develop a high-quality serological assay that would detect neutralizing antibodies. (Video or Multimedia)
