I came across this news which talks about a team of researchers from the University of Vermont and Cedars-Sinai who have discovered high accuracy in predicting the probability of COVID-19 infection using routine blood tests. This can help the hospitals reduce the number of patients referred for scarce PCR testing.
This model was validated on real world data from Cedars-Sinai plus data from geographically and demographically diverse patient encounters from 22 U.S. hospitals. The statistical target of an area under the curve (or AUC) of 0.91 out of 1.00 was achieved(well, this term is a greek for me !!)
I hope that if this research is implemented in real world, it can be useful not only in US but in other countries as well.

It is good news at this time, US must be make available it to all other countries

I want to get vaccinated as soon as possible but I need to make sure first it is safe.

I think we will be sure when million people get vaccine and report side effects. Lab research is good but still best is on real population. I think which best vaccine is we will know for a year or two.

If this practice proves good at some Hospitals or Labs, then it can be replicated elsewhere as well.

Yes, safety is must. I read of a few folks developing partial paralysis of face after being given the Pfizer vaccine. That is horrifying.

Yes, only when real people are vaccinated and effects observed on them, we can be sure about the vaccines.

In most of countries first it is given to health workers so it will proved that it is safe or not, wait for some time

Yes, we first need to observe how the vaccine works for those in the high risk zone.
