anti-test perfectionism means the entire west is shut down. we only had so many perfect tests, so we tested almost no one.
They would benefit more with immediate action by giving employees nonmedical fabric masks and making them mandatory TODAY rather than waiting for surgical masks next week.
That is, perfect (waiting for super accurate tests, etc) is the enemy of good (testing temperatures, wearing basic masks now).
OP has a point and I’ve read the number of asymptomatic as high as 50%.
Other than creating more corporate control over employees, statistically how do temp checks improve the situation?
A better solution would be the 5 mins tests. Then you have a 99% certainty.
