This (or any) pandemic cannot be resolved without testing, and that is what they are trying to do. So they strive to control behaviors; risk-taking behaviors. (like working) A virus that sheds asymptmatically sp? cannot be defeated without screening. Since we cant screen this fella before we introduce him to our jail population for non-felony crimes we'll let him go for now.
The private sector, if motivated, could come up with testing far faster than government can. The medical establishment should be sanctioned for the testing silliness predicated upon " I deserve to be paid before you deserve to be tested" medical paradigm.
If you wish to go to the drugstore and spend hard earned cash buying tests fishing for what ails you, it would probably be smarter to seek medical advise; however, that should be your right.
So right now, if we have a breakout in a nursing home, we don't quarantine the nursing home, we quarantine the neighborhood around it. The testing is not available to screen the nursing home staff.
Next time, I suggest putting the private sector in charge of testing, and that FDA and JB Pritzker be put in charge of managing the toilet paper shortage.
