What do you mean when you say testing to identify those who are positive.  Get specific what does that mean?  It should be assumed if you have symptoms you are positive that doesn't require a test ties into contact tracing

[b]Contact tracing is being done to limit outbreaks in most of the United States and has been going on since day one.  That doesn't require a test 14 day quarantine if you have been exposed to someone with symptoms.[/b]

PPE is a mask and social distancing for most folks unless you are a medical professional

Guess what this is exactly what SK and Germany area doing

So again for the last time Jeff what is your point on testing besides the fact that you are a partisan democrat and that's their current talking point testing testing testing.[/quote]
No one is quarantining for 14 days after contact based on symptoms alone!! That would be absolutely insane...and result in a situation no different than we're in now. Are you seriously arguing that the "re-opening" policy should be that anytime a person is near someone who coughs, they should quarantine for 14 days? Because that's what you are describing.

SK and Germany have much higher rates of testing than we do...so I have no idea WTF you are prattling on about WRT testing being some kind of Democratic talking point. Testing on a broader scale than what we have is a critical part of any re-opening strategy...everyone from the Heritage Foundation to Bernie Sanders agrees with this.[/quote]

If you want to limit the spread of the virus, then yes, if you have had first degree contact with someone known to be positive, then you too should quarantine for 14 days so as to ensure the virus dies with you and you don't spread it more. [/quote]
