[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is testing so important? There is no specific treatment for this VIRUS. If you get sick and have symptoms that aren’t able to be managed at home (severe shortness of breath, chest pain, altered mental status, etc) then you should definitely get to a hospital. But if you can manage at home, shouldn’t you do that and reduce the risk of exposing other people? What is done differently because you test and positive? We should all be following certain precautions at this point anyway. [/quote] Without testing we are going to be in lockdown until a vaccine is available. Because if we go out of lockdown in May acting the same as February, the virus will recur. The only way for us to return to normal this summer will be massive testing and contact tracing. The administration screwed the pooch in Feb/Mar so now we need to pay the price with two months of lockdown.[/quote]
