What challenges does the epidemic bring to engineers? [Copy link]

Recently, Qorvo mentioned in an article :

As a RADxSM-supported company, Qorvo works with the RADx ^SM Variant Working Group to regularly validate the Omnia SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Test's response to emerging variants. Qorvo also performs internal testing of recombinant antigens with mutations specific to circulating variants. Recent work has focused on the Delta variant, which is of great concern in the United States and internationally. Both datasets support the ability to detect all known variants, especially the Delta variant.

"These two studies on SARS-CoV-2 variants demonstrate the robustness of the Qorvo Omnia SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Test to detect circulating variants in the U.S. population," said James Klein, president of Qorvo Biotechnologies. "Accurate test results are critical to health care workers as we continue to fight this virus. Qorvo is pleased to play an active role in curbing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the U.S.."

Qorvo's Omnia platform is an innovative diagnostic technology that can rapidly obtain SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) antigen test results using high-frequency bulk acoustic wave (BAW) sensors. BAW sensor technology can achieve low limits of detection (LOD) levels that approximate molecular detection capabilities.

From the above, we can see that due to the epidemic, in order to better deal with the epidemic, engineers need to design a lot of equipment, which also brings many challenges to engineers. Can you talk about what challenges are there?
