With 15% false negatives, I'm not sure it will be super helpful. Especially because it will take us a couple of years to test everyone once. Not to mention that all those conspiracy theory weirdos will convince a shit ton of people that testing is an evil plot to do something. I can't even make anything up that will be more outlandish compared to what they will come up with. you can drive that down to 2% by retesting.
again- we get there by testing. period. there is no other way out of this.
We can't even test everyone once, testing every person twice is unrealistic for our country in it's current scenario.

thyme4change There are already plenty of conspiracy theories, not the least among them the one that's calling it a Plandemic with Dr. Fauci at the head of it. Today we're learning that Ivanka's personal assistant has tested positive. Will she be self-isolating? Doubtful. If trump and pence don't have to, then she doesn't have to, either.

I heard that Ivanka's asst has been working from home for 2 months. However, if that came out of the WH it could be a lie
