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's your suggestion, keep everything shut down for about 2 years until a vaccine is developed?
keep everything shut down until there is enough single use PPE to not require multiple uses and the testing and contact tracing capability is ready for the stay at home orders to be lifted.
What's your definition of contact tracing capability - Because it sounds to me like you are planning on living the rest of your life in quarantine.
