I have wondered about testing in any form for any purpose for about the same reason.
Realize that I read the Los Angeles Times daily, but don't have a television so don't watch the news.
If I were to have a test today that came out negative and made me "safe" to board an airplane or whatever, what would keep me from being exposed to Covid on my way out of the testing site and be contagious in a few days???
I must be missing something here.
Again, this is like masks...neither will end the pandemic. They are both intended to slow it down (at least that's the only realistic thing it can do).
If it screens out 80-90% of the infected, that's a big reduction in moving the virus around.
PS: this doesn't eliminate the "theater" aspect. Politicians feel obliged to do something...anything...Right now, very few Americans are entering the US by plane. This is something they can "do" that impacts almost no constituents.
