that’s to be expected, after we do the adequate screening for one older population and mitigate many of the advanced versions of that, then the previously edge case becomes more prevalent amongst all cases

there is still a limited resource for the screening at this point, so that’s a friction to expanding screening

It's not just a question of scaling up the screening effort. Doctors are also concerned with potential harms caused by false positives.
