[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh stop that nonsense with isolating vulnerable already.
When you add all those groups:

Heart problems - 125 Million
Asthmatics - some  50 Millions
Cancer... 
Diabetes..
Immunosupressed..

You and up with some 70% of the country.
Factor in, most of those people are exposed through the kids and young adults who
work then you o up to  80%..

Now if  of the reminder  20% you most likely need to keep tabs of who is well and
who is sick so you would  need to keep testing them ALL the time as today well
tomorrow positive would infect the reminder of the pool.

How do you propose to do tat? At  250 bucks a test pop?
Let me recap:

250 Dolllars one test
2500 - ten tests
25, 000 hundred tests
250, 000 one thousand tests !!!!  as in  1000 people..

so o test 1 000 000 you need to spend  250 000 000 bucks
Once you come to test  4 million people you have spent an etire BILLION dollars.

You tell me... is it worth it? Where does it gets  you testing people who are well today
and sick tomorrow to retest and retest them? Where do the money come from.
Frankly put this into taking care of the existing cases and we have much better
spent founds.
