    Document: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread rapidly across the world, leading to enormous amounts of human death and economic loss. Until definitive preventive or curative measures are developed, policies regarding testing, contact tracing, and quarantine remain the best public health tools for curbing viral spread. Testing is a crucial component of these efforts, enabling the identification and isolation of infected individuals. Differences in testing methodologies, time frames, and outcomes can have an impact on their overall efficiency, usability and efficacy. In this early draft, we draw a comparison between the various types of diagnostic tests including PCR, antigen, and home tests in relation to their relative advantages, disadvantages, and use cases. We also look into alternative and unconventional methods. Further, we analyze the short-term and long-term impacts of the virus and its testing on various verticals such as business, government laws, policies, and healthcare.
