re: #9 Hecuba’s daughter

One point about testing that is often overlooked: if a nation does what’s right at the beginning before the disease becomes widespread (complete quarantine, contact trace, test and quarantine all contacts), then the nation does not have to test as large a percentage of the population because exposure will be limited.

Trump made it clear that he does not want widespread testing and people who support him are making sure that his wishes are implemented…

So yeah, we are fucked and we are gonna be stuck with this disease for a long time with people dying needlessly for an economy that refuses to recover.
