Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I keep hearing how more testing is needed before life can return to normal. But I don't understand what the point of more testing is?
If I'm tested and discover I'm infected (either with no symptoms, or obvious because I've already been sick) what does that mean? Am I free to roam the streets because I can't get it again. That has yet to be proven. Am I labeled "infected" and banned from places that have no infections, such as visiting someone in an assisted living home? Will we have a segregated society, one restaurant for infected individuals, and one for the uninfected? We don't serve your kind here?
If I'm tested and it comes back negative, who's to say I won't be infected tomorrow or next week?
Sorry, I'm not trying to be dense, I just don't see what more testing is supposed to achieve. Common sense would say that until there's a vaccine, or the majority of people have already had the virus, someone will always be at risk.
Somewhere I am missing the goal of increased testing...
