Generic Detection

Question 1

What is the difference between detect to treat and detect to warn?

Answer 1

Detect to warn systems must respond in sufficient time to allow protective measures to prevent or minimize exposure of a significant portion of the at risk population.

Detect to treat is much longer as you accept people will be affected, you look to mitigating the severity of the exposure

Question 2

What is detect to treat?

Answer 2

Detect to treat is much longer as you accept people will be affected, you look to mitigating the severity of the exposure

Question 3
