Much less the flippant belief that there is ‘readily available testing’ right now for 360 million people.

LOL! Show me where I hinted 360 million people should be tested right now and I support throwing quarantine out the window. You are making up stories.

Too much drama, too much panic, tossing common sense out the window and sending people running to hospitals rather than calling local health department for medical advice and direction.

If you were exposed to a co-worker who subsequently tested COVID-19 positive, you ought to know what day you were most likely exposed. With that info, you contact your health department for direction.

my comments weren't made in a vacuum but in context of the Sacramento Co., announcement and your repeated use of 'high confidence' from 'greatly increased testing'. Maybe, maybe, if you're a cubicle worker locked to a desk you might know when your coworker was infected, but most people aren't cubicle workers and most Americans have a more active lifestyle than get up, go to work, go home, go to sleep. Coworkers are only one vector of many. So, 'show me' where this 'greatly increased testing' in California is that would justify your defense of the Sacramento Co announcement. Because nobody else sees it. Once again, I fail to see any logic to your argument, the credibility of which you further degrade by accusing the thread of 'panic' 'drama'. Have a nice day.

you said: "14 day isolation puts several dozen health care workers and first responders unable to care for you or your loved ones at each local facility. Now that there is greatly increased COVID-19 testing available, there is likely a high confidence level at +/- 5-7 days wherein a negative test and absence of symptoms equals no infection.
