Also, at the beginning this started during cold and flu season. We needed to test the sick to determine who had Covid 19 and not the flu or a cold. Because 70-80% of the infected have cold a flu symptoms while the remaining 20-30% are asymptomatic. So when tests are limited, you’ll get more bang for your buck testing symptomatic patients. It’s like fishing; you’ll catch more if you go where the fish are, not where they ain’t.
We should have shut it down to anyone but citizens trying to get back home; admittedly the Xenophobe didn't go far enough by just shutting down travelers from the country of origin. If memory serves, there was a cruise ship with folks of many Nationalities that other countries that would not allow to dock, but we did. Who knows how many American lives that cost.
