On almost every platform I participate on - the participants of the "Let's not open yet" and "If you (break some COVID-19 order) you're selfish and want people to die" group have latched onto the idea that somehow, increased testing is the best solution.
I cannot see how that does anything long term. A test taken this morning might not be valid this afternoon. Some of the testing isn't 100% reliable - some of the anti-body tests are only 50/50.
What is so promising about increased testing? So far, all I've been able to ascertain is, we've found a LOT of people who are testing positive but are otherwise not symptomatic. What's the point in that?
