  I don't know if this is new. I know certain antibodies can be measured yeqrs before symptoms develop

  I'm in the biotech field. I think this is an important advance, but it won't replace old methods of screening any time soon, to say nothing of the cancers it isn't designed to catch.
  
  But it'll evolve, gene sequencing is advancing at an amazing rate.

  With overpopulation and the pandemic strangling the earth I can think of nothing more important than extending the life span of the elderly. Oh I forgot, the study is racist....
