Everyone in quarantine should be tested (if the test kits are available) because if they test negative they can released from quarantine!
The large number of people in quarantine around the country is proof the tests are not yet available.
They should (and presumably will) all be tested—then the positive numbers will skyrocket upwards, and the negative folks get to go home to their loved ones.
I completely disagree.
You can have this virus and show negative on the test.
You can also have the virus.. test positive..then test negative in two countries..and then suddenly test positive again as seen by the Israeli.
What is unclear is if you are shedding while you are testing negative.
That said, US cannot effectively quarantine people for this virus. We aren’t Commie China. They are not going to weld you in.
