Instead of giving away trillions of dollars with no tangible end in site to this mess, spend a few billion on creating 1000 Abbott labs producing rapid test machines and tests 24 /7 nationwide. Then spread the machines out on a per capita basis according to case numbers and population. many areas will need no machines or testing. Then start offering 24/7 testing to all citizens. test week after week. Quarantine those who test positive. Open all businesses. Incentivize businesses to only allow entrance to those who have tested negative. Use the National Guard if necessary if states are not capable or incompetent. The virus disappears almost overnight.
I want the country opened now because if not now, when? But it could be with much more assurance if Trump opened his mind long ago and focused on testing. If things go sideways now, his election is in real trouble.
I agree.
Billion$ for testing instead of down-the-hole Trillion$ for nuttin’.
Test everybody coming in for a Dr.’s appointment or haircut and the personal service providers 24 hr before service. Maybe a week after too.
Test all medical staff daily.
Test all the cashiers 2x/wk, unless they also get a virus negative and serum antibody positive test the same day.
Let the testing labs profits soar.
