However, pool chesthe Covid-19 virus detect avuthunda leda anedi naaku theliyadu. Experts are looking into that option though.

If you are looking for the presence of an antibody using an ultra-senstive ELISA it makes sense. How will PCR work? No point.

It will give false negatives when samples are pooled. Increase testing personnel and testing equipment, don't pool samples. If you pool samples, Andhra is going to Assam.

By pooling 100 samples, you're diluting each sample by 100 times. Say five out of the 100 is positive, but PCR amplification after (1/20)th dilution will not be as effective as using the original concentration. So, it's more likely to come out as negative even though 5 people of the 100 are positive.

Also, look at the graph of Andhra, compare it with Kerala and Karnataka. Cases report cheyakapote vache graph laga obvious ga telustundi, when you compare it with Kerala and Karnataka. 

Kerala is the best performing state in entire India, always ahead with curve but lockdown helped AP a lot because tablighi event ki vellina valu max telugu valle ekkuva

There are many studies that states it otherwise not in just covid 19 related  but also multiple other infections..That is one fast and effective methods used often in low resource countries....

There are multiple studies that states the contrary to your statement..But ofcourse every coin has two sides laaga every study varies too..But for now sampling is the best we can do ani naa abhiprayam

Like I said, if you're testing antibody for ELISA it makes sense. Not for quantitative PCR especially for detection. Show me the studies if you have links to any.
