A viral pathogen spreads all over the place through all kinds of means. Unless you’re willing to get a test before and after every time you leave your home, you have no idea what kind of exposure you may have in your daily life.
Bramps, go test yourself daily.
Five or six times daily if you like. Preferably anally.

I am completely aware of the fact that a single test is only for that moment in time.
If we are requiring perfection, we should never be leaving our homes. Let's not have perfect become the enemy of the good. Best I can find, we are up to 6 trillion in stimulus. We are finding AN EXTRA $600 a week ON TOP OF regular unemployment essentially paying people not to work. All with Trump's blessing.
And we can't find the resources to create enough Abbott labs to test everyone on a weekly basis? Abbott is making 2 million tests a month. One company. Trump went days taking over companies to make ventilators and basing entire press conferences on it. But something comparable can't be done with something that could rid the virus of hosts in a month? Week by week the numbers would drop until logistically the virus was starved of hosts and disappear.
What would your visceral reaction be if today it was announced that the NFL, with all their billions, had made a deal with a testing company and found a way to allow entrance for a good portion of fans every week who had been tested negative immediately prior to entrance? I would be high fiving the air based on their ingenuity.
That's just one example shooting from the hip but where has that thinking gone in this extraordinary country? That is exactly who Donald Trump was a builder. Anything was within reach. That's not who I see anymore. Last night he acknowledged kids in masks when they return to school in the fall. That's right to election time. And if that is where we are then and what we have gone through right through the summer, then Trump's re-election will be doubtful in my opinion. At least come out with logistical experts at a press conference and tell us exactly why we are spending trillions on 'stimulus' but it makes no sense to maybe spend a fraction of that on producing the machines, tests, and personnel that could definitively end this virus and truly return us back to a recognizable society.
