I am still in the camp of, it isn't as deadly as people are making it out (Check flu mortality in the 60+ age group) so we should move forward like we do during bad flu seasons and do the best we can ( I know unpopular opinion). We are coming out of flu season so hospital capacity should start opening up soon. The issue though is we are already down the road of an eventual national shelter in place order and I think it is coming before the end of the month. The economy is boned at this point either way, the idea should be to just bite the bullet now do the 2-3 week lock down and try to dig out quicker from one big punch rather than taking blow after blow over the next 3-6 months.
I'm just saying one benefit of testing. If I get sick, but not sick enough to go the hospital, I won't get tested. I get tested if I think I have a bacterial infection like strep because there is something they can do about it, but not anything else.
