Testing as a way to actually control the spread is a false promise.
Testing and contact tracing did work for Mers, SARS, and other infectious diseases. It may not for Covid-19 because of the higher R0 and the 1-2days of infectiousness prior to the onset of symptoms. It may still be the most humane way to open the economy.
What is your suggestion, open the economy and let “survival of the fittest (wealthiest)” control the outcome?
What is your suggestion, keep the economy closed and let the poor suffer and some of them die to protect the unhealthy? I'm not voting for that plan. Better that we go back to life where we don't expect the government to save us from every possible death. People die every year. Millions of them. Somehow we got through that with the economy functioning.
